Folk Feedback

By Kate McNally on Tuesday, February 10, 2009.

It is interesting that two out of the three recent complaints I have gotten about The Folk Show have concerned Tom Rush. He sure does have a loyal following. I mentioned in an earlier Folk Show blog about a man who wrote:

"…it's 7:25 and I just turned off what has to be one of the most tasteless, offensive covers I've ever heard in my 63 years of making and listening to folk music - a rollicking, bluegrass version of, "Urge for Going." I know 'there's no accountin' for taste,' and that everyone's different, OK, but that guy oughta be shot. I can't believe you're airing it!”
