muff528 3 #1 April 10, 2011 Just kickin' back this morning doing some paperwork and listening to some good music and it dawned on me ....Why are there not any good folk songs for conservatives? What up w'dat? No one has ever thought to document the dog-eat-dog plight of conservs in acoustic music? My favorite music has always been traditional and folk music and I always find myself singing along with artists who write about "social injustices" and sticking it to (insert the conservative boogyman du jour here). Would it have been too much to ask for Woody to have written just one conservative folk song? This land is our land, too! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wmw999 2,167 #4 April 10, 2011 There's most definitely Christian blues. There's even a whole website for it. And I thought that country music was often of a more conservative bent -- think of Toby Keith and his railing against the Dixie Chicks. Wendy P.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence.

And to jump down one post..a pal of mine, Marvin King, is a superb Christian blues guitarist. Now that was different but ...not folk! Yeah, I've heard some snippets of some excellent Christian musicians. But as far as "Gospel" goes I prefer more of a bluegrassy slant ...like Ralph Stanley, the Carters, etc. But here I'm more interested in the music and the "sound" rather than the song. ...same for folk.

Guest #13 April 11, 2011 I just heard on this morning's news that the over-rated, nose-whining, bleeding-heart liberal Bob Dylan performed in Vietnam the other day.
