Yet and Still is tellingly titled. That African-American locution, meaning “even so,” has been used in the blues as a poetic conjunction, a bridge from what was to what is. And that spirit is exactly what animates the deep roots of Connette’s music and lyrics. He calls this work song-stirring, taking American folk, breaking it down and shaking it up, finding new life among its most cherished traditions.
