Modesty Blaise – photo by Gregory Jones

Volume 3 of our shelf rifling dive into the deep Fruit Tree Records collection begins with a blast of baroque, sunshine pop from 2001 by Modesty Blaise, heard here in a single version available on the new re-issue album ‘Melancholia,’ which is extended into a 3-disc deluxe 25th anniversary release. We then go deep into a mix that spans seven decades and includes hot revivals in Rock, Americana, Jazz, Indie and much more. The full track listing with purchase information is below:

New Mix: Fruit Tree Records – Folkelectric Vol. 1

This is the opening chapter in our series exploring the moment folk and singer‑songwriter traditions were—much to the horror of purists—wired straight into the mains. The uproar didn’t last. In the six decades since that first electric jolt, we’ve been flooded with extraordinary songs, fearless reinterpretations, and music built for deep, attentive listening. These shows trace that current as it continues to spark, shimmer, and surprise right up to today.
