Scott Alarik's "Revival"
A review of the Ben Bedford CD "What We Lost"
It's one of life's ethereally divine moments, hearing a compelling song yet not knowing the title or the artist. Immediately, nothing else matters. All focus and energy shifts to discovering the genesis of those words and sounds, it's a siren song journey but with a happier conclusion.
Thus was my awakening to Ben Bedford, a process containing similarities to Christopher Columbus 'discovering' the New World since Bedford has two previous releases and a successful tenure as a singer-songwriter. His musical tree obviously sprouted in the forest some time ago but this convert must have been too focused on various branches or twigs to notice.
With Bedford, neither narrative nor rhyme is ever forced. His evocative lyrics present the living and the dead, the past and the present alongside all the twists and turns that design life. In many of his offerings, it's a greater understanding either being sought or presented. Despite his relative youth, his music is remarkably old soul-like.
Bedford's vocals are clear and precise, his musical accompaniment connective companions to his words. A number of his works are connected to people and places in his home state of Illinois.
Notes on various of his songs:
"John the Baptist," opens the release, with the title character singing of baptism and resurrection, the superseding of the Old Testament and surrendering to the single path towards eternal life yet not utilizing literal directness through employing those specific terms. Such is his wonderful elevation of artistry. Near the beginning:
"...you don't have to be afraid to dieDuly note the odds are heavy that Chris Smither will want to record this cut some day.
river water's cool and clean
burns sin off like gasoline
never mind your tooth for tooth
from a madman truth is still the truth..."
With resonance from Ron de la Vega' cello work, the title cut "What We Lost" is about a time and life remembered but now impossible to recreate. It's the taste of victory in war soured by a very personal loss, the feeling of the collective not meshing with that of the individual.
Both of these songs epitomize a form of Faustian bargains of sorts, a giving up of something for what many, but not all in the end, deem is better overall.
Bedford sings of trigger events in the tumultous life of prairie troubador-poet Vachel Lindsay in "Vachel." The opening lines offer a sense of Bedford's lyrical touch:
"The hand of an artist is the open mind of godNext are "Fallen" and "Empty Sky," separate creations but twined by the theme that love is truly free of verbal and written definition. It simply is, a manifestation visible in multiple embodiments and never improper.
pulling paint from the mud, the prairie wind to song..."
"Cloudless" details the integrity of the search for meaning even when the target is less than fully defined and the journey is difficult for all. Bedford sings:
"...my mother prays and my father's bent with age"The Ballad of Harlington Wood" zeroes in on Wood's work as mediator in the Wounded Knee standoff between American Indians and the U.S. government in 1973. It brings to mind Robert Earl Keen's "Shades of Gray."
why wage a phantom war, why climb a hill I know will cause them pain?
but this desert sun is burning in my soul
this desert sun is burning in my soul
what I'm searching for I might never find I know..."

The key here is not the Robert Earl Keen concert as noted but the background to one of Keen's songs, "The Road Goes On and On," and its connection to Toby Keith of all people. Here is a bit more about the song.
Below are the lyrics, followed a video:
I don't care what you say
I never liked you anyway
Wouldn't give you the time of day
If I had the time to spend
You're malicious and downright cruel
Superstitious, so uncool
Best wishes, you loudmouthed fool
I hope I never see you again
You're a regular jack in the box
In your clown suit and your goldilocks
The original liar's paradox
How in the hell do you think you'll make it
When the real test comes and you just can't fake it
Your sycophants say they can't take it and leave you lyin' flat
Well you started out in the wild wild west
Your tin star pinned to your bulletproof vest
I must say we were all impressed - but not as much as you
But your horse is drunk and your friends got tired
Your aim grew weak and uninspired
You robbed a train but your gun misfired
Blew a hole right through your shoe
Yeah, you're a regular jack in the box
In your clown suit and your goldilocks
All duded up in your cowboy crocs singing the same old song
How in the hell do you think you'll make it
When the real test comes and you just can't fake it
Your sycophants say they can't take it and leave you on your own
Now you only rant and rave
Piss and moan and misbehave
You lost your grip on that flag you wave
But you wave it right or wrong
They're still tryin to make amends maybe win back some of your old friends
Real cowboys say the party never ends and the road goes on and on and on
And on...

These lists are compiled and posted to the FOLKDJ-L web site every month (since October 1997). The archive of past Top Album lists is available at http://folkradio.org (the official FOLKDJ-L web site) and also, in an extended version, at http://nwfolk.com (my personal web site).TOP ALBUMS OF 2012
The process of compiling the Top Albums list is automated (I do hand correct some obvious errors and typos). The results are based on playlists posted to FOLKDJ-L during the calendar month. I wrote a pair of programs that work with the Eudora email program's filtering feature. One program parses each playlist as it comes in and adds it to a spreadsheet. The second program processes the spreadsheet into a readable report. Playlists have to include artist, song and album name (label is optional) and be in a reasonably regular format for my program to be able to parse them. My programs wind up identifying roughly two-thirds of the songs actually posted.
The Top Albums list is sorted in descending order by number of plays recorded for each album. Within an album, the more popular tracks that were played are shown. If a single DJ is the only one mostly playing an album, the count of plays is adjusted downwards; otherwise the raw counts are used. The top 70 albums are listed. A more detailed explanation is available at nwfolk.com/topfolk/.
