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!

there is no black music or white music or brown blue green yellow music,if you where born her or live here and make music it's american music.if you where born or are a citizen of the us, your an american not african american,european american

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.

Great voice and WHAT a swing they bring to Americana at 4:00 , that's what I guess Charles Schulz and Uncle Pen together would do if ever alive these days...

It's been a long time since I've heard music played straight from the heart.

ENJOY.

@SKYHYLIFE They have always been black people playing folk and country. People are just ignorant. There is zydeco too.

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

@IcyScythe YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT... You MISUNDERSTOOD me. I never said they were STEPPING OUT of the MOLD. I am saying they are BREAK FROM THE NORM. This music is NOT popular in MODERN BLACK CULTURE... YET... BUT they are BLACK and POPULAR in THIS GENRE. THEY have the POWER to spark a RENAISSANCE. we agree.
