"imitation American styles sung in fake American accents

Yo Bro! Here's one guaranteed to turn you quite blonde with grief:

Deep River Blues

That's my mate Wolfie on vocals, with me playing second guitar, doing our very best Doc Watson imitations. Strange as it may seem to you, having been brought up in Scotland and England, with ancestors and immediate family from Scotland, Ireland and England, I actually feel happier, more at home and more at ease singing and playing this stuff than anything else in the world"

I don't think you're a very good example of what you think you are, Will!

The thing is, the singer ISN'T singing in a fake American accent.

He's singing in his own accent, with only the merest hint of the mid-Atlantic on "I/ah" and "on/awn" sounds. That's so much better than all the fake-sounding bellowing buh-looz voices, drenched in an unconvincing american accent that you hear on Paul Jones' Radio 2 show.

I really enjoyed that. I wouldn't have enjoyed it nearly so much if Wolfie literally HAD been trying to do a Doc Watson impression (accent and all).

Now if you want to hear something that REALLY makes this point, check out Frank Fairfield's music: he's an American who paradoxically sounds like he has a fake American accent...
