Wool&Grant
It’s difficult to express how much enjoyment I got out
of hearing the old chestnut, “Wild Women,” written
by Ida Cox and sung by Wool&Grant on a recent John
Platt Sunday Morning Breakfast Show on WFUVFM. The song is one of a host of gems from their
new self-titled debut CD. I knew it was Ina May and
Bev because I’d heard them before and their sound
is immediately recognizable. There’s something of a
country twang in Ina May Wool’s voice that increases
the veracity in her songs about life’s travails and
victories. There’s a Buffy Sainte-Marie-like quaver
and a power in the voice of Bev Grant that helps raise
a person’s social awareness when it happens to be her
goal. Together, Wool&Grant possess a sweet blend
and a one-two punch that invites all kinds of “strong
women” references. Their joined voices provide a
wealth of pleasure, no matter what direction their
music takes them. Their combined experience and
backgrounds add to their vocal affinity. Both women
started making music when they were very young and
both of their paths make fascinating stories. The song,
“Wild Women” is a perfect fit for them and I found out
why. There’s been plenty of wildness in their lives.
Ina May Wool grew up in Marblehead, Mass. She
got her musical baptism from her parents, both of
whom were artistically inclined. Ina May told me
they honeymooned for a week in New York City and
saw a musical each day. Her mother graduated from
Massachusetts College of Art in Boston and was an oil painter and then
later a prolific printmaker. Her father loved art and was a photographer
with a great eye. “Both of them loved to sing, and we sang on trips in
the car and around the house,” she said.
One anecdote offers an early glimpse into Ina May’s future: “My
mother heard me singing one of the more complex songs from Peter
Pan (on TV when I was about 6), and was impressed with my ear —
she showed me what the melody I was singing looked like on the piano
and told me it was not an easy song to sing.”
Ina May started guitar lessons when she was 9. Her teacher, George
Walkey, hired her as a helper for his group guitar lessons at the
Marblehead Y. She would help tune students’ guitars and at the end of
the class, would sing and play a song. Ina May took liberties with the
songs she learned from records. She remembered playing a song one
week she’d heard on a folk record, prompting the following dialogue:
“‘Where’d you get that song?’… ‘It’s on a Kingston Trio record.’ …
‘Uh-huh,’ said Mr. Walkey, man of few words, giving me a look. Later
I realized that when you change the words, the chords, the melody and
Wild women don’t worry…

the rhythm of a song, it might be called ‘writing’ a song. At the time, I
thought everyone did that.”
A Budding Professional
A big formative experience came from Ina May’s connection with a
member of a friend’s family, Davidine Small, whose mother and uncles
were vaudevillians and musicians. During their visits from New York,
everyone made up songs and wrote plays, then performed them. Although
she can’t be sure, Ina May thinks that Davidine might have helped her get
her first local gigs. She played kids’ parties in junior high and high school
and would get $10 for each party during which she’d lead singalongs.
One of Ina May’s big money gigs was the town Christmas party at
Abbott Hall in downtown Marblehead. “I roamed around the party
singing Christmas songs, stuff from Mary Poppins and other songs, and
they paid me $50. Huge money. I wanted to be a working performer.”
Ina May was a voracious reader and wrote poetry. She also went to the
library and took out all the books on how to write songs. “I think there
were three old musty tomes from way back in the stacks, mostly about
Tin Pan Alley kind of songwriting. I was trying to figure it out.”
Now you’re up north / For a week in a ski lodge
/ In July it’s one hundred degrees / In that
place / Five sets a night / When you know all
of eight songs / Will lead you to make up some
songs / Right away / Try to avoid falling in love
/ With anybody in the band / You are high, you
are low, here we go / After you break up with
the bass player / Learn how to drink a quick
glass of Jack / When it’s time to go on and
you think you might cry / Then have the time
of your life playing music / Laughing so hard
that you fall on the floor / Opening shows for
the once nearly famous / Concerts and TV and
agents galore / Try not to crash and burn on
re-entry / When the band breaks up / You are
high, you are low, here we go…
Ina May (above left, with
guitar) with her sister, Rose
and left, looking angelic in
her Brownie uniform.
After high school, she moved to Manhattan
and went to Barnard College, the women’s
school affiliated with Columbia University.
She played the venerable Postcrypt
Coffeehouse and other concerts on campus,
opening at one point for legendary jazz pianist
and composer Mary Lou Williams.
Getting the Gigs
In a short-lived episode after college, Ina
May moved to Santa Cruz, Calif., to continue
working in a rock band with her boyfriend.
The band didn’t rehearse or play anywhere,
so she moved back to Massachusetts. At this
point, her life got busy. As she described it: “I
booked myself at coffeehouses and colleges
as a solo act but after a few months, the bass
player from the rock band moved to town from
where he’d been in California to play with me.
A drummer he’d met in California also moved
in, and we met some local musicians, and we
started doing some of my solo gigs as a band.
One of my solo gigs without the band was at
Sandy’s (also a famous jazz club) in Beverly,
Mass. I opened for Paul Pena who wrote
(Big Old) ‘Jet Airliner.’ He invited me to sing
with him that night, and I jammed with him
onstage. Paul Pena’s producer and booking
agent were there and approached me about
working with them. Over the next few years,
my band and I played all over New England,
from northern Maine, to as far east as Reading,
Pa., and as far south as D.C. I worked at
Passim’s, opened for David Bromberg,
Paul Winter Consort, Maria Muldaur, Janis
Ian, Tom Rush, David Amram … basically
everyone.”
A song vignette of this period, full of humor
and heartbreak, “Here We Go,” is included
on Ina May’s second solo CD, Crack it Open:
Live from New York
Eventually, the band did break up. She got
a manager who also managed Jonathan
Edwards. When he moved to New York, Ina
May followed and she opened for Jonathan a
few times. She didn’t play acoustic for a while
and hung out with rock musicians, did studio
work and was in a rock opera, The Last Words
of Dutch Schultz. She wrote a song for her part
as Dutch’s wife.
As she saw it: “I missed playing out live and
New York gigs were always high pressure
showcase kinds of things. Musicians that
Ina May playing Passim’s
I knew were able to play “club” dates,
weddings, anniversary parties, bar mitzvahs,
etc., and I thought it would be good for me
to get better as a singer and to learn material,
not just work in a band based around me
— and to earn money. [Progressive rock/
jazz guitarist] Marc Ribot [he’d lived in a
factory town in Maine and knew about Ina
May from her gigs there] told me about the
scene and surreptitiously taped hours of these
‘continuous music’ gigs so I could learn about
it. He told me who to call for work, etc. It
was a whole other world, some rock and pop
and also some standards and jazz singing
with pickup bands. [At that time] I was going
through a very bad break-up.”
This would change abruptly when she met
accomplished musician Daniel A. Weiss, who
became her husband. The gig organizer told
Ina May that “Danny Weiss would be playing
the evening gig and was a genius.” Ina May
was skeptical. She got to the gig later than
usual, although still on time. Another band
person was explaining to Dan how Ina May
sings “this song” and “that song.” Daniel
said in response (not aware that Ina May was
standing there) “Oh, I know all that female
stuff!” Ina May stepped up and said, “Oh,
really? Are you married?” and wound up telling
him about her relationship problems after
the gig. At the end of the evening, he handed
her a promo postcard, telling her that he’d be
playing her neighborhood, if she “still wanted
to get married.” [Photos of Ina May leave no
doubt as to why he might give this idea serious
thought on such short notice.] He was playing
backup piano for a jazz singer on Manhattan’s
Upper West Side. She’d only heard him doing
pop and rock on synthesizer at the gig and was
flabbergasted to hear him playing “gorgeous
acoustic jazz” on a piano. They’ve been married
25 years now and Daniel has produced both of
Ina May’s solo albums.
The next change in her life came through
her friend Jon Albrink, a session player and
singer who also had bands playing his original
music. He introduced her to the Fast Folk Cafe
open mic (which I was running at the time).
“Jon was working on writing and performing
solo acoustic songs, and he had started going
to various open mics. He said he’d go with
me, and so he introduced me to that part of
the scene.” Ina May’s career as a solo singer/
songwriter entered its next chapter.
A Sister Act
Bev Grant grew up in Portland, Ore. When
she was 10 years old, her father gave her
a guitar instead of the bike she wanted. In
hindsight, this proved to be the right gift.
She took guitar lessons at a music store in
downtown Portland. She had two older sisters
and they each started playing instruments and
singing. Her oldest sister had taken several
years of piano lessons and learned electric
bass, while her middle sister took up lap steel.
They formed a trio and began playing at
music school recitals. Her oldest sister
bought some stock arrangements and that’s
how Bev learned to sight-read music. Their
trio was called The Miller Sisters. The three
girls combined a mixture of styles. Bev was
known as “the little girl with the big voice,”
and sang songs like “Blue Suede Shoes” and
“Heartbreak Hotel” as well as Teresa Brewer
covers. Her middle sister was doing standards
like “A Pretty Girl is Like a Melody” and her
oldest sister had a light opera voice and sang
songs like “Grenada.”
Bev (above middle, with
guitar) with her two other
Miller Sisters, “rockin’ it”
and left with her guitar, as
she often heard, “bigger
than you are.”
It was the era of singing sister acts such as
The Lennon Sisters (The Lawrence Welk TV
Show) and The McGuire Sisters (The Arthur
Godfrey TV Show). They played together for
about five years, appearing five or six times on
a local TV country music program, “The Heck
Harper Show.” [Upon reading Willie Nelson’s
biography, Bev discovered that he appeared on
that show during the same period The Miller
Sisters had.] Bev told me, “Heck played a
big white hollow-body f-hole Gretsch with a
whammy bar. She said Heck’s pedal steel player
might have been the best she’s ever heard.
Changes
As with most groups, time has a way of
bringing attrition. The oldest sister got married
and left. The remaining two replaced her for
a short time. Then the middle sister left and
Bev was left to perform by herself. She sang
through high school and had a boyfriend who
was a jazz musician. They got married when
she was 19. Abruptly, her husband and a bass
player friend moved to New York, where they
looked for gigs. So, Bev packed up all their
wedding gifts and followed him. She got a
steady 9-to-5 job to support her husband so he
could be a full-time musician.
Bev felt intimidated by the jazz people who
surrounded her and stopped doing music for
a time. She listened to the greats like Billie
Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald and thought “I
can’t do that.” She played the role of the
musician’s “old lady” for a couple of years
and then ended the marriage. After that,
she lived with a drummer who was known
on the scene but was abusive to her. It took
her a while to extricate herself from that
relationship, but she managed to do it around
1966.
Finding Herself
She was finally on her own and became
involved with protesting the Viet Nam war and
in overarching societal problems.
She got introduced to and became heavily
involved in the women’s movement, resulting
in a greater level of self-awareness. It was
liberating for Bev to finally see her own
involvement in an abusive relationship as part
of a greater issue. She took up photography
and took photos to heighten social awareness.
She also joined a filmmaking group that was
making political documentaries. As part of that
group she made a documentary about the Miss
America pageant protest in 1968 and she took
many photos surrounding that event.
She had taken her guitar out again and wrote
parodies illustrating the protest. One used the
song “Ain’t She Sweet.” This snowballed into
her writing an avalanche of songs that she now
laughingly describes as: “Let’s take it to the
street; let’s make a revolution!”
In 1972 she had her first child and formed
the folk/rock group The Human Condition.
They recorded two albums. The first, recorded
on Paredon Records, had a lot of feminist
material, she told me. She learned to use the
concept of “story songs” to make a political
point, and on the first album, wrote about
a working-class woman, “Janie,” from
Ironbound, N. J., who declares, “I’m Janie’s
Janie, not daddy’s Janie, not Charlie’s Janie.”
Bev gave birth to her second child in 1982 and
The Human Condition re-formed as a worldbeat band, singing in different languages about
international struggles. The trio became a
10-piece band and lasted until 1991. Always
a high-energy person, Bev had a full-time job
and was a single parent throughout this time.
[She retired six years ago from The Osborne
Association, a not-for-profit which helps
prisoners transition from incarceration. She
has written songs to illustrate those issues.]
After the Human Condition disbanded, she
formed the Brooklyn Women’s Chorus, a 40person vocal group.
Ten years ago, Bev formed a trio called The
Dissident Daughters with two women were
recruited from the Brooklyn Women’s Chorus.
The group put out one EP called Cheeky
Women.
Wool&Grant at Last
Bev’s involvement with Ina May evolved
from a Dissident Daughters recording project
with Ina May’s husband Daniel. The project
never went anywhere, but Bev and Ina May
had gotten to know each other through a song
writing workshop and started singing together.
Their first gig as Wool&Grant was a co-bill
with Bev and The Dissident Daughters at The
Good Coffeehouse in Brooklyn.
The ’80s version, Bev in front
The bond between them strengthened as they
participated in a workshop on memoirs. They
got to know each other’s life stories and saw
that they had similar sensibilities as young
performers.
While Bev brings a higher political sensibility
and Ina May writes a greater amount of
personal songs, they complement each other.
Bev brings songs to Ina May for feedback
and feels her songwriting has improved. “She
pushes me,” said Bev. Ina May has learned
more about harmonizing from working with
Bev, who is still a choral director. While Ina
May focuses on rhythm guitar and finger
picking, Bev has taken on lead guitar work.
They’ve each brought earlier work to the new
album and have collaborated on one of the
new songs, “The Last Man on the Mountain,”
about strip mining. Bev’s song “Get the Frack
Outa Here,” is an instant classic.
In an effort to gain greater perspective, I
looked for other reviewers’ opinions of
Wool&Grant and ran across this one on
Sonicbids: “In addition to the feistiness they
inject into songs about the battle between the
sexes, there’s the social awareness avenue
exemplified by “Get The Frack Outta Here.”
With lines like, Natural gas, kiss my natural
ass / Get the frack out of here, I’m glad
they’re on our side. They’ve been a team since
the beginning of 2011, so it’s a little late, but…
ladies, consider this an official “Welcome.”
Oops. That was my own, about their prerelease of the new CD, reviewed in our
December issue. I can’t disagree with myself
and I hope you won’t either. Go see two wild
women and get happy.
