People's Picks: Slaughter Beach, Dog

People's Picks: Slaughter Beach, Dog
People's Picks: Slaughter Beach, Dog | Smithsonian Folkways Recordings

In my mid-twenties, these songs & players served as my introduction to American folk culture. Little did I know, most of the crazy, singular sounds I'd found were all rattling inside the same temple: Folkways Records. This music & so much music before and after it has become an enormous part of my work, my identity, and my spirit, and it was a joy to dig back through the Folkways catalogue for names I knew & songs that have stuck with me.

Slaughter Beach, Dog is the solo project of Jake Ewald (Modern Baseball). The band's most recent record, Live at The Cabin, is out now.
