Song Review: Graham Nash - “A Better Life”

Graham Nash took a page from Neil Young’s recent songbook in penning a well-intentioned-but-corny number about the environment.

“A Better Life” is a country-leaning ballad built around acoustic and pedal-steel guitars and a melody that’s strikingly similar to Lula Wiles’ “Oh My God” as he sings:

We’re gonna make it a better life/leave it for the kids/it’s a lovely place/a welcome home for the human race

Sing-songy in the extreme, “A Better Life” wears thin quickly despite the timeless message. It follows “Right Now” from Now, which arrives May 19.

Allison Russell Wins Big at 2022 International Folk Music Awards: Full Winners List

An Overlooked Tracks News Finding: Here’s an article you might have overlooked. Having a partnership with NewsAPI, we try to catch music entertainment news for you to view, read and possibly enjoy. We will continue to find what’s available in the world of music entertainment, concert information and music releases. But obviously you – the listener and reader are the biggest source for news in your area, so if you can share with us. For right now, look at what we found for you:

“From The Billboard Magazine Website – Allison Russell Wins Big at 2022 International Folk Music Awards: Full Winners List”

Allison Russell won both artist of the year and album of the year at the 2022 International Folk Music Awards, which were presented Wednesday (May 18), the opening night of the 34th annual Folk Alliance International Conference in Kansas City, Mo.

Russell took album of the year for her first solo album, Outside Child, which has been an awards magnet in recent months. Last November, it was nominated for a Grammy for best Americana album. On Saturday, it won a Juno Award in Russell’s native Canada for contemporary roots album of the year. On Monday, it became an Americana Honors & Awards nominee for album of the year.

Crys Matthews’ “Changemakers” garnered song of the year honors. Matthews performed on the show, as did fellow nominees John Smith and Diana Jones. The show opened with a song by gospel artist Isaac Cates & Ordained.

Accordionist Flaco Jiménez, the late songwriter and interpreter Nanci Griffith, and Denver-based folk music center Swallow Hill Music were this year’s recipients of the Elaine Weissman lifetime achievement awards. The awards are presented each year to honor the cultural impact of legendary folk music figures.

Jason Mraz, known for his attention to conservation, human rights and LGBTQIA+ issues, received The People’s Voice Award, which is presented to an individual who “unabashedly embraces social and political commentary in their creative work and public careers.” Past recipients include Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Ani DiFranco and Bruce Cockburn.

On receiving the award, Mraz said, “I was a little shy at first, thinking I’m too young for this award, that I haven’t done or said enough. Then I realized those thoughts and feelings never go away, that nagging thought that I haven’t done enough. But it’s that nagging thought that’s an indication that we still have energy to give and want to and will.”

Mali Obomsawin, a Smithsonian Folkways Recordings artist, member of the band Lula Wiles and journalist, received the Rising Tide Award. The award was launched in 2021 to celebrate a new generation (under age 30) artist who inspires others by embodying the values and ideals of the folk community.

The 2022 recipients of the Spirit of Folk Awards included musician, educator and documentary producer Eugene Rodriguez of Los Cenzontles; composer, producer, performing artist and Louisiana Red Hot Records vice president and head of A&R Lilli Lewis; NPR Tiny Desk contest winner, musician and disability rights activist Gaelynn Lea; Canadian Live Music Association president & CEO Erin Benjamin; Bolivian-American multi-instrumentalist, composer and instrument maker Amado Espinoza; and Sound Diplomacy founder Shain Shapiro. These awards are presented to honor people and organizations actively involved in the promotion and preservation of folk music.

Colorado-based Planet Bluegrass received the Clearwater Award, which is presented to a festival that prioritizes environmental stewardship and demonstrates public leadership in sustainable event production.

Angela Page and Dr. Johnathan Øverby were inducted into the Folk DJ Hall of Fame, which was established to recognize radio DJs who have made outstanding contributions to the preservation, promotion and presentation of folk music. Page has hosted Folk Plus since the early 1990s on hydro-powered WJFF 90.5 FM Radio Catskill in Jeffersonville, N.Y. Dr. Øverby is a DJ and Wisconsin Public Radio host and a noted ethnomusicologist and scholar.

Folk Alliance International was founded in 1989. Its more than 3,000 members constitute a worldwide community of artists, agents, managers, labels, publicists, arts administrators, venues, festivals and concert series presenters.

each year i keep a playlist of music that i get really into or discover that year and because it's chronological it can be kind of funny to look back at it and see certain really obvious trends. hey lulu did you happen to get really into indie-folk band lula wiles this month?

#what can i say…their music is good… #lulu speaks

[sneezewizard]

“Last night we held a lie between our lips Another dead-end kiss.“ Fun fact: Smithsonian has a nonprofit record label with artists that make some fantastic folk music. Anyway, this one has been playing in the background heavily while I do some brainstorming for the more angsty parts of my writing.

I’m restless so I’m gonna shuffle my “kitchen-sink” playlist and post my favorite lyric from the first 10 songs that come up. I suppose, do the same if you want to? I dunno. 1. “It should’ve been different / it could’ve been easy / but pride has a way of holding too tight to history” -”Wildfire,” Mandolin Orange

2. “Did she get real or did she just give up? / But she’s not the type to whine / so she just follows those white lines and keeps her mouth shut.” -”Vaping on the Job,” Dougie Poole

3. “When you left this town with your windows down / and the wilderness inside” -”Angela,” The Lumineers

4. “I’ve never been too good with names / but I remember faces” -”It’s a Shame About Ray,” The Lemonheads

5. “If falling in love is the best high / I’ve passed the best times of my life” - “Dull,” Microwave

6. “I’m looking so hard for a place to land / I almost forgot how to fly” “Lopin’ Along Through the Cosmos,” Judee Sill

7. “Now I’ve known death by his first name / tears at my mind but I won’t repent” -”Bad Guy,” Lula Wiles

8. “A funny thing, escaping reality / to find a common place to climb the ramparts of your chest” -”Pill,” Ought

9. “When you paint the town / a bright red to turn it upside down / I’m painting it too / but I’m painting it blue” -”Mr Blue,” The Fleetwoods

10. “Gas stations I laughed in / I noticed fucking everything: / the light, the reflections / different languages, your expression / We would fall down laughing, effervescent / and all over nothing, all over nothing” -”Thirty,” The Weather Station
