Old Lead
Old Lead is an album by Minneapolis Celtic rock band Boiled in Lead.
It collects the band's first two studio albums, 1985's" BOiLeD iN lEaD" and 1987's" Hotheads", along with two tracks recorded during the" Hotheads" sessions.
Songs from The Gypsy
Songs From the Gypsy is the sixth album by Minneapolis Celtic rock band Boiled in Lead, and its second with lead singer/guitarist Adam Stemple.
It is a song cycle based on a Hungarian folk tale, written largely by Stemple and his Cats Laughing bandmate Steven Brust several years prior to Boiled in Lead's recording.
Brust, who is best known as a fantasy novelist, collaborated with writer Megan Lindholm on a novel, "The Gypsy", based on the songs.
Boiled in Lead's album is considered the soundtrack to the novel.
Brust had previously co-written two songs on Boiled in Lead's 1994 album "Antler Dance", and had released a 1993 solo album, "A Rose for Iconoclastes".
"Songs From the Gypsy" was released on CD in an enhanced multimedia format including both Boiled in Lead's music and the full text of Brust and Lindholm's novel, as well as 80 short sound clips of songs referenced in the novel's text.
Musically, the album leaned more towards rock and blues than the worldbeat and folk Boiled in Lead had become known for.
Bassist Drew Miller called the change in sound a temporary one related to the album's unusual genesis, since the songs had been written six years earlier, before Stemple had joined Boiled in Lead.
"The "Gypsy" album "doesn't exactly represent us as we are now.
It was a side project, actually.
It's not indicative of the way the band is going," said Miller.
Hotheads
Hotheads is the second album by Twin Cities- based alt- rock/ world- music band Boiled in Lead.
Like its predecessor" BOiLeD iN lEaD", it is strongly centered on a blend of alt- rock and traditional Celtic folk, and has been called its" most roundly Celtic" album.
Andy Susemihl
Andy Susemihl is a German guitarist, singer, songwriter and record producer.
He began his career in the 1980s and gained international success since 1987 in hard rock bands such as U.D.O. and Sinner.
Winfield's Locket
Winfield's Locket is an American country pop duo from Denham Springs, Louisiana.
The duo is composed of sisters, Brooke Martin( lead and background vocals and guitar) and Leslie Martin( lead and background vocals and piano).
Sinner (band)
Sinner are a German heavy metal band formed by vocalist and bassist Mat Sinner in 1982( who later joined Primal Fear).
They were part of the German heavy/ speed/ power metal scene.
Their latest album," Santa Muerte", was released on September 13, 2019.
Boiled in Lead (album)
BOiLeD iN lEaD, sometimes referred to as" BOLD NED", is the first album by Twin Cities- based folk- punk band Boiled in Lead, self- released on its own label, The Crack.
It received widespread critical praise after its release; record producer and musician Steve Albini called it" the most impressive debut record from a rock band I've heard all year."
It is more strongly centered on a blend of alt- rock and traditional Celtic folk than the band's subsequent albums, though the Hungarian dance tune" Arpad's Guz" gives a hint of the band's later eclecticism.
Boiled in Lead's first vocalist, Jane Dauphin, plays a larger role here than on" Hotheads", her second and final album with the band, singing lead on most of" BOiLeD iN lEaD"'s songs and helping anchor its sound in traditional folk.
Bassist Drew Miller also performs lead vocal on a few songs, including" Byker Hill", but after this album would stay strictly an instrumentalist.
The album includes several folk standards including" Byker Hill" and the Scottish ballad" Twa Corbies," as well as a cover of the Yardbirds'" Over Under Sideways Down."
The song" The Man Who Was Boiled in Lead" is a version of Scottish writer John Leyden ’s ballad" Lord Soulis", based on the death of Scottish lord William II de Soules, who was, according to legend, killed by his tenants at Ninestane Rig in 1320 by being boiled alive while wrapped in a sheet of lead, to defeat his mastery of black magic.
( Despite the title, Boiled in Lead did not take its band name from this song but the Irish murder ballad" The Twa Sisters" as performed by folk group Clannad on their album" Dúlamán", as well as the New Year's tradition in Nordic countries of molybdomancy, or casting molten lead into snow to foretell the future.)
The album's cover image is a 1538 woodcut by Hans Holbein the Younger," Bones of All Men."" BOiLeD iN lEaD" was later collected on the album" Old Lead", along with the band's second album," Hotheads", and two previously unreleased tracks.
From the Ladle to the Grave
From the Ladle to the Grave is the third album by Minneapolis Celtic rock band Boiled in Lead.
It was the band's first recording with drummer Robin Adnan Anders, whose influence helped push the band further beyond Celtic rock into explorations of other world traditions.
These included Bulgarian, Russian- Jewish, and Turkish music, as well as their version of The Hollies ’
“ Stop! Stop! Stop! ” which interpolated a traditional Egyptian melody.
The song" Cuz Mapfumo" simultaneously paid tribute to Chicago- based Irish musician Cuz Teahan and Zimbabwean Thomas Mapfumo.
Previous Boiled in Lead albums had consisted entirely of traditional folk and world- music songs, though the band often arranged the songs in nontraditional, harder- rocking ways.
" Ladle" contained Boiled in Lead's first original compositions," The Microorganism" and" Pig Dog Daddy."
Both were written by lead singer Todd Menton, who cited the influence of Billy Bragg and Richard Thompson as songwriters who had successfully fused folk and rock/ pop.
Menton began writing" The Microorganism," a mournful ballad about the devastation of AIDS, six years before its appearance on" Ladle".
The song" My Son John" is a variant of the traditional Irish antiwar ballad" Mrs. McGrath."
In an article on the history of the Napoleon- era song," Sing Out!" critic Steven L. Jones singled out Boiled in Lead's rendition as a skillful modernization that also stayed true to the song's politics and" underlying rage and terror."
The band's version of the song is dedicated to antiwar activist S. Brian Willson, whose legs were cut off when he was struck by a munitions train during a Reagan- era protest of arms shipments to Central America.
The album won a Minnesota Music Award for Album/ CD of the Year in 1989.
Boiled in Lead
Boiled in Lead is a rock/ world- music band based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and founded in 1983.
Tim Walters of" MusicHound Folk" called the group" the most important folk- rock band to appear since the 1970s."
Influential record producer and musician Steve Albini called the band's self- titled first album" the most impressive debut record from a rock band I've heard all year."
Their style, sometimes called" rock'n' reel," is heavily influenced by Celtic music, folk, and punk rock, and has drawn them praise as one of the few American bands of the 1980s and 1990s to expand on Fairport Convention's rocked- up take on traditional folk.
" Folk Roots" magazine noted that Boiled in Lead's" folk- punk" approach synthesized the idealistic and archival approach of 1960s folk music with the burgeoning American alternative- rock scene of the early 1980s typified by Hüsker Dü and R.E.M.
The band also incorporates a plethora of international musical traditions, including Russian, Turkish, Bulgarian, Scottish, Vietnamese, Hungarian, African, klezmer, and gypsy music.
Boiled in Lead has been hailed as a pioneering bridge between American rock and international music, and a precursor to Gogol Bordello and other gypsy- punk bands.
While most heavily active in the 1980s and 1990s, the group is still performing today, including annual St. Patrick's Day concerts in Minneapolis.
Over the course of its career, Boiled in Lead has released nearly a dozen albums and EPs, most recently 2012's" The Well Below".
Although the band recorded Scottish writer John Leyden ’s ballad" Lord Soulis" under the title" The Man Who Was Boiled in Lead" on their first album, the band's name is actually taken from the Irish murder ballad" The Twa Sisters" as performed by folk group Clannad on their album" Dúlamán", as well as the New Year's tradition in Nordic countries of molybdomancy, or casting molten lead into snow to foretell the future.
