GUEST,mauvepink Folk Singers who are Politically Conservative (290* d) RE: Folk Singers who are Politically Conservative 04 Jan 16


Johnny Cash and Kris Kristofferson were ardly right wing in many of their songs and Nanci Griffiths (Texan) along with Emmylou Harris could join them on the female side. Saying Country is right wing is, in my opinion, shown to be incorrect by all the country songs written that show extreme exception. Some singers, folk and country, will be right wing but to generalise country I think is so sad.

I sing and write folk and country songs. Most are not political but deal with affairs of the heart. Of the songs I have written to make a point I suppose many would say are left wing or liberal. One is about being a street girls, another about being a refugee. Being called liberal in such circumstance is a compliment, whoever it comes from or in what tone it is delivered
