I am on the record, as an intemperate youth, suggesting that Folk Music is of the devil. I recant.

In my dotage I am really enjoying alt.country, folk, bluegrass and other music with banjos.

There’s a slight language warning on this clip – well, it’s not slight. It says a bad word starting with f many times. The rest of the album is free of cringeworthy cursing.
