America USED to be about race. NOW it's about culture. You can CHOOSE your culture. CULTURE always accepts what's genuine. EVEN when the race is a minority in that particular culture. This is GOOD TRADITIONAL AMERICAN MUSIC. Music is about what you HEAR, not what you SEE!

This music is refreshing to hear. A bit of history with originality, as well.

[Phil Rist]

music is universal .there are no boundrys you just play it from your heart and it just makes people feel good. these guys remind me of uncle earle produced by john paul jones from led zepplin.

its funnybut white people stole the banjoo from africa.infact ol whity whent so far as 2 paint his face black and "pluck his stringed instroment"rather than use a bow.the guitar is from muslims(or moors)and pretty much everything nebody gets down 2 now and days derives from so called "minorities"the whole topic is dumb..even you people who talk about feeling music,learn its history,they are not ne different even they know they just kno they are different by 2days standardsits gone full circle

if u really love blues and country music then fork music is no stranger to u. its funny how some poeple say i love music but i cant listen to country music or what ever. if u love music then u can feel and understand it any way shape or form.
