GUEST,Captain Swing | Folk singers recording non-folk songs (60* d) | RE: Folk singers recording non-folk songs | 27 Apr 08 |
This is one of the reasons I no longer play at folk clubs and prefer the open mic format. People play whatever they want in whatever style they choose. Traditional material sits happily with blues, rock, self-penned stuff, covers etc. It seems to me to be a more realistic arena - the songs stand on their own ( and the performers' ) merits, not falsely preseved ( pickled?) in the hermetically sealed environment of the folk club. |
