So the band I cited the other day is much more impressive than I thought it was. I thought it was a pleasant bluegrass band, and it is: but it's apparently a foreign band, "from Sweden," which has managed to master the genre so well that I didn't notice that they weren't Southerners. Successfully adapting to a foreign culture is really an accomplishment for an artist! (Although I suppose I'm supposed to be angry for 'cultural appropriation,' I have to say that I think that concept is bull.)
Here they are doing "John Henry."
Gotta love that the projected title right at the beginning says "John Henery".
ReplyDeleteI'm supposed to be angry for 'cultural appropriation,'....
ReplyDeleteNo you shouldn't. That would expose you for a culturonormative nationistcentric civiarch. And you wouldn't want that sort of exposure.
The Rockridge Brothers are pretty good.
