Thread Name: What's wrong with 'Folk Music'
Subject: RE: What's wrong with 'Folk Music'
Re me and Dylan-- I never cared whether or not he went elctric. I don't begrudge him his success. I like some songs he's written. I dislike is singing. I detest the hokie Okie accent.

I've sold several copies of the "Songcatcher" CD to people who were under the impression it was a real soundrack CD. They were also disappointed.

I a[pologize for any errors I've made concerning the O Brother CD; I've been particularly sensitive to the "I'll Fly Away" track because I've had over 50 requests for the Kossoy Sisters CD, and Rykodisk has pulled it off the market reportedly at the behest of the movie producers. I still think that a "soundtrack" album should be taken from the soundtrack.

I liked the music in O Brother; didn't care much for the film. I loved the music in Songcatcher, admired the scenery and the acting, and hated the story line.

CAMSCO does sell the O Brother CD. It also sells Dylan CDs, as well as a host of other CDs by performers I don't personally care for.
