Big Al Whittle	why do some sing in usa accent (64* d)	RE: why do some sing in usa accent	09 Nov 18
why do we do it? Why do the actors in East Enders and Coronation Street use regional accents? That's what a song is - a passionate soliloquy. sometimes the magic works - sometimes -alas not. Why do trad singers feel inclined to enforce a dull conformity. Kate Rusby/Northen, Martin Carthy/gurning, Christy Moore's brogue. Its okay to copy these guys. Is it really so much more heinous to be Bert Trubshaw's Johnny Cash?
