Get Up in the Yule - Podcast and EP featuring winter tunes and traditional carols
We've been wanting to do an album of our favorite traditional carols and winter tunes for a long time and it all came together when our pal Cameron DeWhitt invited us as guests on their excellent podcast Get Up in the Cool a few weeks ago for a special holiday show. This short bandcamp release is just the tunes we played (you can check out the full episode with all the talky-bits here: getupinthecool.fireside.fm/277). You should totally subscribe to Get Up in the Cool wherever you listen to podcasts. These are old carols collected from Wales, England, and France, while the tunes are some of our favorites from North Carolina fiddlers Marcus Martin and Byard Ray and Kentucky fiddlers Isham Monday and Darley Fulks:
1. The Holly & the Ivy / Joy to the World
2. Marcus Martin's Jig / Snowbird
3. Bring a Torch, Jeanette Isabella / Christmas Eve
4. Coventry Carol / Polly Put the Kettle On
We hope you enjoy these tunes as much as we do, and wish you joy and peace this holiday season.
