I am saying that people talk crap even about modern songs the ITMA lot have added to that.. their 'field recordings' contain modern copyright material that shouldn't be in there, and old stuff that clearly should. I have no idea who Nick Dow is and what stuff is involved, but modern folk music isn't 'folk' as it used to be when people went round with tape recorders in the fifties, when there were Victorians still alive etc, as it is often copyright song MCPS/PRS registered material with originators. Just because yer granny once sang it and taught you it, doesn't make it traditional.
