about

DLR - 005

Shane Parish (founding member of Ahleuchatistas) received Fireside Book of Folk Songs as a gift. It sat on the shelf for a few months, a proud edition to his sheet music library, with its colorful illustrations and contextualizing prose. Then, one day, he picked it up and began to feel his way through the tunes on guitar—sea shanties, ballads, work songs, hymns—all coming to life in the singular interpretive style that he has been developing for many years.

There is a point, after years of exploration and focus, at which ones craft merges with their personality, and becomes intuitive, effortless, and fluid. Like a casual conversation, or ones natural gait when crossing the floor, the interpretative style is just what is. There is no forced effort.

When Parish released his 2016 album “Undertaker Please Drive Slow” on Tzadik Records, it marked a turn in his output. The technical fireworks of his band Ahleuchatistas, and the deep listening and melancholic vibes of his improvised work, combined with a heightened awareness of kinesthetic feel for his instrument, forged a meditative stream-of-consciousness approach to instrumental song interpretation on guitar. It is an approach that draws from everything, the total field of universal music. After years of trying to play different styles, with vary degrees of success, a definitive personal approach emerged, and the trying subsided, and the music flowed.

This style, or no-style, of playing has only become more free and flowing in the years since Undertaker. So much so that Parish could now comfortably try his hand at a much larger selection of repertoire and trust that the music would flow, a story would be told, and feelings would be felt.

So, he hit record and documented his takes on the 147 songs of Fireside Book of Folk Songs.

Beautiful album start to finish! Beautful smooth melodies in each song. A talented artist! Adrift has a romantic tone to it mixed in with the violin. Simply beautiful. Through the Woods reminds me of a beautiful fall day driving the blue ridge parkway or hiking the scenic hillside, watching streams flow. Truly relaxing, providing adventure, wonder and love. After the Storm reminds me of sitting on a rocking chair listening to the rain as it gently falls. Well done Ms Williams. I am a fan! kap716
