Spaw, if you want to know what "saw raw" sounds like, check out The Electric Light Orchestra's first album, "No Answer." Especially the song "10538 Overture." Some critic say the music sounds unrefined--the cellos are too grungy, you can hear mistakes, and cello bows accidentally hitting the bridge. I call it raw. It IS folk in a sort of way...almost all acoustic--folk guitars, cellos, violin, French horn--and one electric guitar. The music is so primitive and soul shaking--if you heard those chugging cellos--yes, "sawing quite rawly" youd understand. Also, Jeff Lynne and Roy Wood combine to do this raw nasal singing--much like blues. I made a recording of myself doing this song--it's even more raw than the original. RAW DOES RULE, NOT SUCK! If you want to hear it, I can sent you the sound file ASAP.
