Listen to Sonya Cohen Cramer's "Oh the Wind and Rain" from her Smithsonian Folkways album
You've Been a Friend to Me. Sonya Cohen Cramer intimately interprets the traditional murder ballad alongside celebrated musicians Elizabeth Mitchell, Daniel Littleton, and others. The music video, created by illustrator, graphic designer, and printmaker Dio Cramer, uses the traditional storytelling form called the "crankie": a backlit scroll that's cranked across two dowels to unfold its narrative.
