The Fowk Thread

[Pliny Harris]

Thread for folk music. Folk from anywhere on earth. Local stylings, local lore.

Folk is strictly defined as music passed on by oral tradition. I'll fail to be a douche just this once and accept anything that simply sounds folk. Just no acoustic covers of Clocks like what I heard tonight please.

In the immortal words of hbk487, "ill start".

So that's what my username looks like next to "likes this."

Looks tight, even if I say so myself.

Not sure if this one should be in this thread but I couldn't find a more apt place for it and didn't think a festival bands of the 90's thread would get much interest. Anyway hope you enjoy it.

 

[Pliny Harris]

Aye I'm sure that counts!

I love Robbie Basho so much. His approach and mix of raw but extremely proficient fingerpicking and singing has stayed with me since I first listened to him. I still play his music every week, usually several times a week. I fell for him in a big way.

It's on the trad side, but I like the other-worldly guitar sound

Decent that! Reminds me of the Turkish bağlama with the drone and melody.

Love that song and Hallelujah I'm a Bum. The lyrics are brilliant too, rather surreal but effective.

A Leadbelly cover may be stretching the oral tradition a little
