R E L E A S E ] ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ Folk music wasn't just something that happened in ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ the 1960s. The sound and the scene continued to ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ thrive throughout the 1980s and 1990s, mostly ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ because of the efforts of Fast Folk, a group of ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ singers and songwriters who came together in 1982 ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ in New York City to mutually support and promote ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ their own work. This 2002 double disc set from ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ Smithsonian Folkways Recordings celebrates the 20th ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ Anniversary of Fast Folk, making their music ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ commercially available for the first time and ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ honoring a significant chapter in American folk ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ music that is often overlooked. ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ It wasn't easy to be a folk musician in the early ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ 1980s in New York City. Greenwich Village, the home ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ of the 1960s folk scene was now domintated by punks ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ and New Wavers, and record companies, so quick to ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ cash in on folk in the 1960s and 1970s, now ignored ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ folk muscians, deeming them uncommercial. Founded ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ by singer-songwriter Jack Hardy with the help of ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ the venerable Dave Van Ronk, Fast Folk brought ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ together folk musicians in an effort to develop ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ their skills and strengthen their presence in the ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ community. The singers and songwriters of Fast Folk ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ brought their work to the public by creating a ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ performance space at the SpeakEasy restaurant in ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ the Village and starting an ambitious monthly ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ magazine accompanied each issue by an LP (later ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ CDs) of new songs generated by the scene. ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ The Fast Folk Musical Magazine, edited by Hardy and ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ Richard Meyer, put out 105 issues from 1982 to ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ 1997, recording well over a thousand songs. Meyer ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ recalls, "The purpose of Fast Folk was to create a ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ myth of a contemporary scene in the Village with a ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ club, recordings, and press, and then live up to ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ it. This wasn't hard because there were prolific ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ writers with great songs." Fast Folk included ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ established artists such as Van Ronk and launched ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ the careers of musicians such as Shawn Colvin, ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ Christine Lavin, Steve Forbert, Suzanne Vega. ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ In the Fast Folk scene, endless hours were spent ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ discussing and debating songs and the process of ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ writing. The editors encouraged ambitious ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ songwriting, and guided experienced as well as ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ beginning writers toward their best material. ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ According to Meyer, "A guiding principle of Fast ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ Folk recordings was that the singer would have one ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ take to commit a song to tape. He could have a ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ second chance but had to erase the first take. This ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ kept everyone focused. We didn't waste time or ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ tape." The process built a strong community of ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ skilled musicians that had an extraordinary effect ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ on American singer-songwriters in the 1980s and ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ 1990s. ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ In 1999, Fast Folk's recordings, records, press ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ clippings, and magazines were dontated to the ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ Heritage, making a strong addition to our ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ collections, which already include artists from the ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ 1960s and 1970s. Hardy and Meyer sat down with ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ Smithsonian Folkways Recordings for this 20th ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ Anniversary project and hand picked two discs worth ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ of songs that best represented Fast Folk during its ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ first 20 years. As editors of The Fast Folk Musical ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ Magazine, Hardy and Meyer listened to thousands of ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ songs live and through submissions sent to the ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ magazine. Their expertise generated a collection ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ of honest and heartfelt songs from a scene whose ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ influence is still heard today. ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ ▓▌ ▓████▓▌ ▓▌ ░ ▓████▓▌ ▓▌ ▓ ▐█████▓█ [ A B O U T .
