You know it is really kind of a coincidence that my favorite songwriter working these days happens to also be towards the enby area of the gender scale, Adrianne Lenker is just a fantastic songwriter but her playing around with gender roles in her songs IS part of that.

Yasmin Williams Plays “Hummingbird”
Listen to this track by North Virginian guitarist and multi-instrumentalist known for her lap-style technique Yasmin Williams. It’s “Hummingbird”, a prime cut off of her 2024 record Acadia, her third. This cut features renowned players in their own right Allison de Groot on banjo and Tatiana Hargreaves on fiddle. Their contributions ratchet up the Appalachian feel of this particular piece; a stylistic angle being only one facet of Williams’ varied musical profile even on this one album of hers.
Williams’ introduction to the guitar was from a more recent source than the centuries-old traditions from which she draws on this track. As a pre-teen, her brothers played the video game Guitar Hero 2. When she discovered how much better she was than her siblings at that particular game, Williams love of music and her fascination with the guitar began in earnest. Fandom of rock and metal followed with the idea of becoming a heavy metal shredder, applying her seemingly natural agility to the real instrument.
As she developed her own style, she favoured more melodic and acoustic sounds with an emphasis on exploring creative ways to express her songcraft. One of those approaches was to experiment with open tunings. Another was to master the “lap tapping” technique to playing the guitar. This means playing the instrument flat on her lap while fretting chords and melody lines in an inverted style as if playing a keyboard.
This technique allows Williams to explore various chord voicings and to open up melodic and rhythmic possibilities while doing so. It also allows her to play multiple instruments at once on several of her songs, most notably the African instrument the kalimba, which Williams mounts on her upward-facing guitar. She plays it with her left hand while tapping the guitar fretboard with her right. Her use of tap shoes on some tracks provide self-driven percussion lines as she plays the melodic and harmonic parts.
Yasmin Williams playing in a lap-tapping style. image: Rene PassetHere on this cut, she also displays traditional chops on the guitar, playing it in the conventional way while intertwining her lines with those of the banjo and fiddle. She mixes it up by intercutting it with the lap-tapping style, capturing the energy and beauty of her subject matter; the titular sap-seeking dynamo of the bird world, inflaming the imagination to be the closest thing to faeries a person is likely to see.
The melody and rhythm heard in “Hummingbird” is full of brightness and optimism to shore up this effect. It’s replete with tempo changes that help tell a story with sound rather than with lyrical content. Although she wrote the song in Pittsburgh, it evokes the grandeur of nature far from any steel city landscape.
The melody makes it easy to imagine that the hero of the story isn’t just a single creature, but an embodiment of nature itself; beloved and worth celebrating and preserving. It also suggests a series of single moments in catching sight of a near-mythical creature in an idyllic setting. It feels free of any specific era and is highly meditative as a listening experience in our particularly troubled one.
As much as one might assume that Yasmin Williams is embracing her culture as a North Virginian by playing this tune in a bluegrass style, it turns out that she is a relative newcomer to the world of string bands and Appalachian folk traditions:
“This style of music is not one that I grew up with and is still relatively new to me; however, I can’t help but be somewhat influenced by the amazing musicianship of all the bluegrass, folk, and old-time musicians I’ve seen in the last few years. Although this wasn’t on my mind consciously when I wrote this tune, I assume these influences entered my subconscious.”
~ “Yasmin Williams – Hummingbird”, Stereogum, September 5, 2024.
This demonstrates that apart from her mastery of her instrument, Yasmin Williams has a keen musician’s ear for a style and the compositional chops to capture its heart. That’s what the best musicians and composers do; listen to each other, and allow themselves to be open to stylistic possibilities to help them tell their own stories.
This takes their music beyond the boundaries of technique and makes it into works of sheer imagination and of human experience of the wider world in its fine details. Here, the music conjures the feelings of gratitude when one finds oneself bearing witness to the small wonders that nature can demonstrate; the simple awe of observing a wondrous tiny bird on its floral adventures being one of those. Even if the song had a completely different title, one might still imagine that image. The emotional impact would be the same; a sense of brightness and warmth and well-being.
“Hummingbird” belongs in a tradition of music that is in part a reaction to one’s natural surroundings, tied to a sense of place. It suggests a landscape in celebration of its memory. This kind of string band folk music also acknowledges a history of playing that kind of music as we hear it and it tells a story of the lives of the people who play it, too. On this tune, it also celebrates the simple moments of beauty and clarity and even mystery that defines our lives wherever we live.
Yasmin Williams is an active musician today. You can learn more about her by visiting yasminwilliams.com.
Also, be sure to take a look and listen at her 2025 NPR Tiny Desk concert to see her play this song live with Alison deGroot and Tatiana Hargreaves. In it, you can see her switch up playing styles from the traditional position to lap-tapping. On another song, “Guitka”, you’ll see how Williams plays the kalimba and the guitar at the same time, intertwining melody lines in fascinating ways.
Enjoy!

My fav from Jesse Colin Young is released on April 20, 1974. It's his fifth solo album (The Youngbloods) and ended up his highest-charting solo album. After Song For Juli, Jesse leaned into a more experimental, jazzy folk album. The three-part "California Suite" is gorgeous. #jessecolinyoung #lightshine #70smusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky #folkrock #countryrock #countryfolk

Kate Wolf Sings “Across the Great Divide”
Listen to this track by Northern Californian singer-songwriter and country folk paragon Kate Wolf. It’s “Across the Great Divide”, the opening track to the 1981 album Close to You, her fourth. That record built on momentum that Wolf created for herself as an independent musician, initially releasing her material with her band The Wildwood Flower on her self-started Owl label. Her style touches on Sixties folk revivalist ingredients inspired by The Weavers, The Kingston Trio, and The Carter Family as well as from the country music radio she heard growing up in the Fifties.
Wolf achieved local popularity in Sonoma County and then the Bay Area, and soon became a stalwart participant in folk festivals all over North America in the 1970s. She didn’t exactly catch on as a name on the cover of Rolling Stone. Maybe this was because she chose to put her music out on her own label and fashion a career outside of the music industry establishment. She would branch out later in the decade when she signed with indie label Kaleidoscope who released her 1979 record Safe at Anchor. But Wolf would remain an independent artist who put out records on her own terms.
Taking her own path allowed her to craft a unique approach to American folk, bluegrass, and country traditions that put the storytelling aspects of her songwriting to the forefront. That emphasis on narrative and lyrical clarity gives Wolf’s music a warm, plainspoken, and straightforward quality that would inspire a generation of upcoming songwriters including Nanci Griffiths, Iris Dement, and Greg Brown. Wolf also inspired her contemporaries. This included Emmylou Harris who covered Wolf’s material later on.
By the time this song and the Close to You album came out, Wolf had folded The Wildwood Flower after two albums. She regularly toured with Bruce “Utah” Phillips, who would become a venerable and venerated folk music figure in his own right for decades. Phillips took her with him on tours of the Midwest, east coast, and into Canada’s folk music festivals in Winnipeg, Calgary, and Vancouver. By the end of the Seventies, she established a musical bond with guitarist and mandolinist Nina Gerber who’s guitar lines are prominent here on “Across the Great Divide” as entwined with Wolf’s own.
On this cut, Gerber and the rest of the band, including Norton Buffalo who provides a second lead voice with his harmonica, help Wolf retain the back porch quality that gives her music its warmth and humanity. The instrumentation and arrangements convey an inviting in-the-room feel that lends this song a certain timelessness, defiant of trends, and leaning into the fundamentals of telling relatable musical stories to an audience without flashiness or artifice.
Singer-songwriter Kate Wolf, circa 1980. image: Kaleidoscope Records – original publicity photo.“Across the Great Divide” remains one of Kate Wolf’s strongest artistic statements. It’s concerned with the strangeness of passing time, when events and chapters of one’s life seem both far away and almost like yesterday all at the same time. By the time she wrote this song, she was entering middle age. Beyond the literal geographical reference to the actual continental divide (where rivers really do change direction), whether this life milestone is the metaphorical great divide in the title or not is arguable.
However, this is a phase of life when perspectives change and people find themselves looking back more often than before. When we do that, it can be overwhelming as well as awe-inspiring as we consider those things which are unique to us; our memories, lessons, travels, mistakes, loves, sorrows, joys, connections, challenges, and achievements. Sometimes, our life stories can seem like they happened to a completely different person as we reflect on them. At a certain point in our lives, it becomes easy to say to ourselves where all the years went, I can’t say.
That contemplative space is exactly where this song lives. In this, “Across the Great Divide” has less to do with Kate Wolf as she sings it, and more to do with us as her audience as we hear her sing. And maybe this is a more useful conception of a great divide, metaphorically speaking; an earned awareness that has grown out of experience and how our own sense of mortality shapes our perspectives as we look back on where we’ve been, who we’ve been, and who we’ve become in the bewildering passage of time.
Wolf’s song suggests that an embrace of the mysterious nature of our lives as beings in time is the best way to avoid being in fear of it.
The finest hour that I have seen
Is the one that comes between
The edge of night and the break of day
It’s when the darkness rolls away~ “Across the Great Divide” by Kate Wolf
There is a certain defiant hopefulness in this line. Where a song about the passage of time and of mortality could have easily turned down a path defined by ennui, this tune leans toward the light instead. Perhaps this is yet another great divide to consider as we find ourselves on the mountainsides of our lives; that they have been worth living, and that even in their imperfect episodes, they belong to us. As we consider the passing years, we can decide to be content instead of fearful as we straddle the great divide between the edge of night and the break of day.
Kate Wolf put out two more records of original material after Close to You, taking a brief sabbatical at one point, and then resuming her activities on the folk festival circuit and on broadcasts including A Prairie Home Companion and Austin City Limits. In April of 1986, Kate was diagnosed with acute leukemia. After a period of recovery and remission, the disease returned and she underwent a bone marrow transplant. Her immune system never bounced back. She died in December of 1986 at the too-young age of 44, remembered fondly by her fans, musical peers, and celebrated by her friends and family.
Speaking of her family, they established and currently curate the Kate Wolf official website. So, to learn more about her including biographical information and notes on all six of her original albums along with posthumous live and compilation releases, be sure and check that out.
To get a sense of Kate Wolf as a live act, check out this clip of her playing “Like a River” on Austin City Limits. Among other things, you’ll get a sample of Nina Gerber’s considerable skills on the mandolin along with that of fellow player Randy Sabien.

That naughty teeny tiny dog Ebby took off this morning as we were out walking, freaked me out. She’s so little she could hide behind a blade of grass & not be seen! George stayed by my side the whole time I searched for her.
A truck came down the road driven by a local I hadn’t met before. Tells me his name is Brownie, big (very) fella with a scar on his forehead. He knows Ebby & asks if I’ve searched his property & in we go, no she wasn’t there. Brownie gets in a little buggy & says he’ll check down the road one way & I go back the other way towards home. Very near home there she is coming out of the bush looking very pleased with herself. Panic over, heart rate decreases but that is my nightmare scenario of maybe having to tell an owner I’ve lost their much loved pet. I pick her up & tell her off then walk back down to tell Brownie & to thank him. George has stayed glued to my side all through it. He’s a good boy - Ebby not so much 😏 - she will be on a lead tomorrow morning for the last walk & won’t like it. #HouseSit #PetSit #CountryFolk #GoodPeople.

Usually when the word "progressive" is used in a genre, it means I'm not going to enjoy it as much like with prog rock or prog metal, but "progressive country" is absolutely my biggest jam, I love it.

First Aid Kit Sing “Emmylou”
Listen to this track by honey-voiced Swedish sisterly country-folk duo First Aid Kit. It’s “Emmylou”, a cut from their 2011 record The Lion’s Roar, their second. This song was a single from that album, released in January of 2012 where it scored a top 30 showing in their home country. It would eventually wind its way to North America and to other regions, helping to build the duo’s already growing reputation for sounding like a couple of sisters from Appalachia rather than from Stockholm.
Both Klara and Johanna Söderberg were avid music fans from early childhood and precocious musical talents. They wrote this song between them by the age of 14 and 16 respectively after listening to and learning more about the subjects they namecheck in it. Gram Parsons famously served as a mentor to Emmylou Harris by the early 1970s before his untimely death in 1973. Harris would go on to become a shining light for the rest of that decade and into new eras for country music in her own right. She remains rightly venerated today as an American roots music pioneer. Yet the bond the two musicians formed in that earlier period when she was learning her craft would endure.
That’s what this song is primarily in tribute to; the power of song and how music can be a binding force between singers of like mind and spirit. The examples of Parsons and Harris, and Johnny Cash and June Carter, too, illustrate this very well. These legendary figures take on mythical proportions here on this track and in the imaginations of listeners, too. As for the sisters themselves, coming from Sweden and not the American South turns out to be a pretty ineffectual barrier to how well they interpret those celebrated musical traditions here. The powerful bond between them as similarly likeminded musicians evident on this track makes the impact of what they’re singing about all the stronger.
First Aid Kit accompanied by Stockholm Strings at Royal Albert Hall, London on 24 September 2014.As much as “Emmylou” is in tribute to a singer the two sisters admire, it’s more about what came out of that bond between them as they listened, growing strong enough for the two sisters to start writing and playing music together professionally. It became more than enough for those same sisters to eventually become exemplars of traditions originating from much further away from where they were born.
“Emmylou” demonstrates something else besides; a keen understanding of how country music works on emotional levels to tell relatable stories. This song is a look inside of a human drama, suggesting the common human experience of missed opportunities clinging hopes. Couched in wintry melancholy, the lines seem to hint at the sorrow that comes out of what it is to be two ships passing in the night on their way to different destinations with only present moments to capture before going in different directions forever. “Emmylou” evokes the human realities of lies, truths, undeniable affinities, bad timing, deep longing, and the passage of moments that the best of country music makes its stock and trade.
“Emmylou” is a study in songcraft in this way. This is even before one factors in how well the two writers sing it together, embodying the narrator as a single musical entity in a story that suggests the emotional space between sadness and gratitude. But beyond songcraft and the suggestion of an unfolding drama between two characters, “Emmylou” operates on another level besides.
Outside of the drama it suggests, this is a song about the appreciation one musician has for another. It’s not just about the magic that happens when two musical soulmates collaborate, although it does touch on that on multiple musical levels. It comes off as a song between the two sisters themselves in tribute to their admiration of each other and what they each bring to the unique sound they’re able to create together. It is the outward expression of that which Emmylou and Gram, and June and Johnny too, also felt between them in their day.
I’ll be your Emmylou and I’ll be your June
If you’ll be my Gram and my Johnny too
No, I’m not asking much of you
Just sing little darling, sing with me~ “Emmylou” by First Aid Kit
In this context, the chorus has a life of its own within the story told in the verses. In a very meta sort of way, the song seems to reserve its most powerful sentiments here between the writers, even if the verses are open for listeners to imprint their own stories onto it. Just sing little darling sing with me is a profoundly realized tribute to their sisterly bond, held together by mutual passion for making music, and passing on what inspires them to their audience.
And speaking of an audience, amazingly, First Aid Kit found themselves in the position of singing this very song while its namesake was in attendance. This happened in June of 2015 at the Polar Music Prize banquet held in the band’s hometown of Stockholm at the Grand Hôtel. Harris was in the audience as a Laureate. Before they sing, they tell the story of their own musical journey together, discovering powerful music made before they were born and expressing their wonder of it and for those who made it. The performance that followed showed Harris’ own wonder at what her music inspired in a new generation of musicians. Needless to say, it got emotional.
You can view First Aid Kit’s performance of “Emmylou” as played in front of Emmylou Harris herself right here. It is a rare and wonderful thing when artists of great worth and amazing influence give and receive their flowers like this.
First Aid Kit is an active musical entity today. You can learn more about them at firstaidkitband.com
For more gorgeous and otherworldly harmonies, catch the 11-minute First Aid Kit Tiny Desk Concert from 2012 in which this very song serves as their closing number.

As randomly chosen by survey on Mastodon, our next spotlight is on number 997 on The List, submitted by dwenius. (The survey choices given were “My”, “Empire”, “Of”, and “Dirt”, following the earlier survey with “You”, “Could Have”, “It”, “All”; as the winning selection,”Dirt”, was the last choice and only 2 albums in The List have “dirt” in the title, the survey result was translated as picking the last one.)
Want 2 hours of ol’ timey, finger pickin’ country folk, bluegrass, and gospel classics such as “Keep on the Sunny Side” and “I Saw the Light”? Well, here you are. This double album features a ton of collaborations with people such as Mother Maybelle Carter (i.e., June Carter Cash’s mother), Doc Watson, and Merle Travis. The album was so successful that the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band tried it two more times – Volume II (1989) features the likes of Johnny Cash, Emmylou Harris, John Prine, and John Denver, and Volume III (2002) Willie Nelson, Vince Gill, Alison Krauss, and Tom Petty. So, if this is your sort of thing, I think your listening is sorted for a while.
Before you listen, make sure your harmonica or washboard is nearby.

I don’t wish to censor the art of any of the albums on The List, but the front cover has images of the Confederate flag, which of course today is recognized as a hate symbol. Given the time the album was released, the musical content of the album (which, as far as I know, isn’t itself problematic), and the presence of Union flags (as well as a photo of a Union soldier) on the front cover, presumably the point of the cover was not to promote hate symbols in any way. So, since there is no ability to add content warnings or sensitive image filters on the WordPress side to show up with the automatic cross-posting on the Mastodon side, I have chosen instead to provide alternate art, to keep the problematic images out of your timeline.
