MichaelM The 'New Folk Movement'? (78* d) RE: The 'New Folk Movement'? 11 Aug 00


Is anyone writing folk music? Is the notion of creating folk music that is new unthinkable? If we have relegated folk to pre-1900 (for argument's sake) haven't we created an amber-cast canon fit only for scholastic exhumation or folk-park tourism? An article in Harpers this month discusses the death of small languages. Is folk going the way to dusty death?
