Would you listen to this?
If not, what (specifically) is the turn off?
I'm not suspecting I'll get much of a bite, just doing some marketing research of sorts.

2796732, Yes, but not repeatedly Posted by Jive Alive, Tue Apr-16-13 10:16 AM
Its just not very energetic. Nothing wrong with banjo though. In the same general genre, I love these guys and this version of Tell it To Me: http://vimeo.com/9570767

weird that the banjo player appears to be strumming his 5 string with a pick.
And why's everyone under 30 playing acoustic music gotta wear one of those fucking hats?

2796741, I don't have real answers for either of those questions Posted by Jive Alive, Tue Apr-16-13 10:45 AM
Except, that by the time I bet they were hitting 30, and the band broke up, the hats were gone... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqwPRaI_p1g

2796743, at least they weren't wearing suspenders Posted by lonesome_d, Tue Apr-16-13 10:49 AM
which seems to be the other, less essential, part of the modern roots music uniform.
|
2796736, lol, you already know my answer to that Posted by lonesome_d, Tue Apr-16-13 10:28 AM
it's great, btw.
Like the drummer, I love guys who use simple percussion to add a lot to a song.
Those guys want a tub bassist, throw my name into the hat!

2796745, We're featuring them in the next issue Posted by spew120, Tue Apr-16-13 11:03 AM
Digging into more youthful acts, but it's a hard tightrope to walk... Older folkies make Lessonheads seem like loving and acceptable people. Gotta find that balance.

2796754, old-timey seems like a safe balance Posted by lonesome_d, Tue Apr-16-13 11:28 AM
but looking at recent covers, it seems much more broad in the music it's presenting than I picture - of course, my picture is mostly based on reading from the 1950s and 60s when it was primarily driven by a certain political interpretation of folk.
