Talking about a recession ….
I have not heard a lot of songs talking about what the recession has done to folks. From foreclosures to unemployment lines, it seems like there was dead silence. Then I discovered I had just been listening to wrong stuff. Ok, maybe nothing that bad… but I did find some interesting stuff on the No Depression podcast. Doop and the Inside Outlaws MFNJob alone makes it worth the listen and a little snooping will get you to an older album by them called Blood River. The title track on that one makes it worth the listen – hard when a man turns on himself just trying to make it all work.
Nine Bullets also checks in with a review of Fox Hunt’s latest. Listening to Bigger Man gives you a different framework for thinking about heroes in hard times. Also makes you want to go out and buy everything they have out.
