Downeast Bob | The 'New Folk Movement'? (78* d) | The 'New Folk Movement'? | 10 Aug 00 |
Today's Portland (Maine) Press Herald made a reference to the "New Folk Movement," quoting Rolling Stone as saying that John Gorka is the "preeminent male singer/songwriter" of said movement. Never having heard John Gorka, I feel terribly ignorant. I'm an old folky who started out listening to the Almanacs, Pete Seeger, country blues singers and old-time country fiddle/banjo tunes. For years, that's mainly what I've listened to. So what's this New Folk Movement that I've never heard of? |
