Thread Name: What is the future of folk music?
Subject: RE: What is the future of folk music?
I'm with Jim Moray on this one. His and Bubbz's interpretation of Lucy Wan actually made me stand up and listen.When Bubbz kicks into his rap, the song comes to life, you actually get the rage, the crazed desire, everything all rolled into a very concise little passage, its wonderful. I cant see how Jim Carroll can draw this conclusion;

// "Didn't find it the slightest bit intereresting..I prefer my ballads with nowt taken out, particularly the plot."//

As ALL the original trad verses are in there!

A famous rapper once said 'you dont need eyes to see, you need vision'...
