LIVE AT LUCKY BARN: Joan Shelley, ‘Subtle Love’

Posted on October 29, 2015 by Editor

We've teamed up with the good people at Pickathon to present a season's worth of archival — and incredible — videos from the Pacific Northwest festival's Lucky Barn Stage. Tune in every fourth Thursday of the month to catch a new clip.

During her performance at the Lucky Barn during Pickathon 2015, singer/songwriter Joan Shelley talked about loving Van Morrison and Aretha Franklin, as well as following "the folk singer path … It was already carved for me." But, first, she offered up a lithesome and lilting rendition of "Subtle Love" off her recently released Over and Even LP.

Pickathon comes back to the Pendarvis Farm in Happy Valley, Oregon from August 5-7, 2016. Click here for more, and stay tuned for an exciting season of Lucky Barn videos.

LIVE AT LUCKY BARN: Della Mae, ‘Richland Woman Blues’

Posted on July 31, 2015 by Editor

When you walk the path of a picker, you can't help but follow the footsteps of giants. That's the journey Della Mae chose to take in the Lucky Barn at Pickathon 2014 when they took on Mississippi John Hurt's “Richland Woman Blues.”

Rumor has it, the tune was actually written by a local plantation owner. True or not, Hurt made it his own and now Della Mae has staked some small claim to it, as well.

Front woman Celia Woodsmith snarls and sasses her way through this bluesy booty call of a song: “Give me red lipstick and bright poppy rouge, a single-bob haircut and a shot of good booze. Hurry home, sweet daddy. Come blow your horn. If you come too late, your mama will be gone.”
