Roland Turner: Folk singer with a cat. You queer?
I've been getting into Nick Drake lately, the folk singer. Sad, gorgeous stuff.
I think what makes the Byrds stand up all these years is the basis in folk music. Folk music, being a timeless art form, is the foundation of the Byrds. We were all from a folk background. We considered ourselves folk singers even when we strapped on...
