For this New Sounds, listen to some new music with folk roots, and unexpected folk collaborations. There's music by Howard Skempton, the English minimalist, using "Wild Colonial Boy" in his piece "The Durham Strike." Then listen to Jim Moray doing "Two Sisters," Tom Waits doing "Two Sisters," and Julia Wolfe's "Cruel Sister," based on the same song.
Also, we'll hear from Laura Marling and the Dharohar Project together with Mumford & Sons. There might even be music from Nico Muhly and his piece "The Two Sisters." Plus, music from the Decemberists, and much more.
