Once Famous Springsteen - The Seeger Sessions (133* d) RE: Springsteen - The Seeger Sessions 29 Apr 06


As I have been reading this, the same holier than thou attitude of the so-called purists rears it's snobby head once again, whether it is Bruce Springsteen or The Kingston Trio.

It is what has divided the so-called folk music community 50 years ago and still today.

Purists! Our folk music is not about braying or having no teeth in your mouth. It is about the music and the passion of it. And it can sound much better on a $4000 guitar whether you like it or not!

And if people sell a million copies of their type of folk music, my hat is off to them, for they are truly successful folk singers who people want to hear.
