craig_no Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Just discovered Jeffrey Foucault on NPR/Mountain Stage (he's actually been playing for 10+ years, but I never saw him before). Very original...very good technique as a solo performer who has to fill the room by himself. Plays a great old J-45.

Gio Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I discovered Jeffrey Foucault a few years ago just before the "Ghost repeater" cd and I have followed him ever since. He is a very good songwriter and his records are always well arranged. His latest solo cd "Horse Latitudes" is so far my favorite album. He also recorded an album of John Prine covers, "Shoot The Moon" which is also a great record. Until a couple of years ago he played either a Martin 0-18 or a D-18. Then he switched to the old J-45. His wife Kris Delmhorst is also a talented singer and songwriter, and she plays a nice J-50. This is my favorite JF's song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOHOIET0H7g And here's a nice Kris Delmhorst song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7oJU69mqmxU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

telemaster03 Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Thanks for the heads up, listening to the show now. Our local public radio station stopped carrying Mountain Stage a couple years ago, not sure why. It's a great show that introduced me to some artists I had not heard before. I'll have to listen online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kebob Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Yep -- been a Foucalt fan for awhile. I discovered him through Peter Mulvey, another singer-songwriter that has worked on some albums with him. If you want to hear some good folk music from both of them and Delmhorst, check out the album "Redbird" -- it's great stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their cover of Tom Waits "Hold On" started popping up on my Waits Pandora channel, it was good enough to convince me to hunt down the full album. It has become one of my must have road trip albums. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GxjzJL0wsV4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountainpicker Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Yes! Years ago one of my employees gave me one of those Putamayo series, the one entitled American Folk, and on it was this song "Don't Look For Me" by Jeffrey Foucault. Great lyrics and pickin' and some killer slide work. I guess the original song is on his Stripping Cane album. I've been a fan ever since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guth Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 It wasn't until he toured with Peter Mulvey a few years ago that I really started to pay attention to Foucault as an individual talent. When we caught them here in Portland, Jeffrey was actually talking about his J-45 that night and how fired up he was about it. It did sound good.
