Even so, acoustic rock seems to fit SoH in a way that it doesn't for Mawkin Causely, Bellowhead, The Unthanks and other NFAs. I doubt many of SoH's audience are folkies anyway. SoH, Billy Bragg, OysterBand - acoustic rock. |

04 Feb 10 - 07:57 AM (#2829767) Subject: RE: Acoustic Rock From: Bobert The entire term "acoustic" is such a nebulis term anyway... I have an Oscar Schmidt resonator that has a ceramic pickup in it... Most folks would look at it and say, "Yup, that is an acoustic geetar" and leave it at that... Then I plug in and run it thru a Fender Blue Junior tube0type amp and mess with the setting and all of a sudden what looks like an acoustic instrument sounds like Leslie West of the band "Mountain"... But, hey... I can play it anywhere else where supposed acoustic music is being played... Used to be acoustic meant just that... Now everyone plugs in.. B~ |
