Thread Name: Best Real Folk Album I've Heard in Years
Subject: RE: Best Real Folk Album I've Heard in Years
I'll let Rick give you his version on that Marty, but what he is describing here is the "root" voices and sounds.....Authentic and true, if you will, to where the music came from, and played and sang in the "natural" way of things......no big mixers, multiple tracking, or any of the things we often hear and kinda' take for granted. Singin' and pickin' from porch to parlor to kitchen, but not for commercial consumption until someone came up and said, "Let me record that on this tape recorder." Music by the folks who lived it and grew with it...It's one of the many reasons I love Frank Proffitt.
