[evergreensounds]

in the first half of the 20th century (and probably before, but that's when this music started being recorded in audio) there were quite different "rules" around switching pronouns when playing songs originally from the perspective of another gender. it was not inherently queer to sing songs from a cross-gender perspective, but it might have given people a way to express themselves or to feel seen

i yap about this a lot but finally made some playlists

There needs to be more trans folk musicians. I know there are trans folk punk musicians. But I want some folksy stuff. I want some country stuff too. And some bluegrass. Give me that trans townes van zandt. Girlboy woody guthery. A Ralph Stanley whose a faggot

These are the songs I picture Katniss singing. Appalachian/mountain tunes, bluegrass and folk music, lullabies, old traditionnal songs her father may have taught her.

Songs about freedom, love, hard times and hope, living in poverty, death, prison, coal mines accidents, workers' strikes, natives and the land...that she could pass down to her children as well.

Hearing a banjo just makes me go absolutely feral

2005

Following a conversation with @eapep about Blue Moon of Kentucky when I posted the original version of Mystery Train, it’s time to bring you a triple dose of it!

Wanda Jackson’s version has been in my queue for a while (it was my first encounter with this song), and now feels like the perfect moment to share it,

along with Elvis' take in

1954

and of course the original by Bil Monroe recorded in

1944

“You had gone up to the mountain, higher ground

to make a stand

Perched up on a ledge with a rifle in your hand

Singing ‘I don’t need no man’”

-Matt Heckler, Haw River Ballad

A song that really struck me since the first time I listened to it. Genuinely a joy to watch him perform it live, too- I suggest checking out both versions!

Live : recorded

my real toxic trait is that I think almost any song could be improved with the inclusion of either a banjo, a clarinet, a fiddle, a horn section, or all four
