Folk is sorta like…The South
Dixie really gets it when it comes to the American Folk Soul.
For some references on the transcending spirit of South-based folk, check out:
1. The documentary, Searching for the Wrong-Eyed Jesus, about musician Jim White’s touring of the rural south. Here’s a clip.
2. The song “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down” by the Canadian South-o-philes The Band. If that’s a little too much awesome for you, here’s a watered-down Joan Baez version.
3. Creole Gumbo pretty much says it all. Here’s a recipe.
4. Spanish Moss, iconically seen in the Bonaventure Cemetery in Savannah, Georgia.
