Singer-Songwriter Deidre McCalla had the most-played album (Endless Grace<\/em>) and song (\u201cShoulder to the Wheel\u201d) on folk radio during June 2022, while Tom Paxton, Cathy Fink &Marcy Marxer edged her out for the month\u2019s most-played artist. So say charts compiled by Folk Alliance International based on radio playlists submitted to FOLKDJ-L, an electronic discussion group for DJs and others interested in folk-based music on the radio.<\/p>\n

\"Deidre
Deidre McCalla (Photo: Irene Young)<\/figcaption><\/figure>A performing songwriter for nearly 50 years, Deidre McCalla was a pioneer on the women\u2019s music circuit and a rare Black face during the early years of that genre. Roulette Records, better known for pop-rock 45s, released her first album in 1973 while she was still a student at Vassar College, although her career as a solo folksinger-songwriter really took off when the \u201cdreadlocked troubadour\u201d released several albums for Olivia Records beginning in 1985. After spending the last 17-plus years as a single mom raising her son, McCalla has returned to the airwaves \u2013 with her recent release, Endless Grace<\/em>. Judging by the airplay that the album has been getting — including two of the month\u2019s top three songs — McCalla is still going strong as she confidently claims her place in the world and relentlessly affirms the power and diversity of the human spirit. <\/p>\n
