All Music is Folk Music...


... I ain't never heard no horse sing a song.
~ Louis Armstrong

This year, the Four Corners Folk Festival was an eclectic mix of bluegrass, country, blues, folk and rock 'n' roll. Below are some of my favorite new discoveries.

I had heard of and listened to Railroad Earth before, but seeing them live was a whole new experience. They jammed out like the Grateful Dead, and I overheard someone call their style "psychedelic bluegrass."




The first-ever recording of Woody Guthrie's original 1947 lyrics.
