Slightly unrelated.. but I'm now thinking of the parameters of traditional folk songwriting, and the first songs which were recorded, and how out of the most simple chords and instruments and recording equipment came the most beautiful, moving, culture-shifting pieces of music... It was about what the people had to say, from the bottom of their hearts, and how they phrased it – pieces of spiritual wisdom and storytelling scrounged up from the ages.... no bells and whistles of fancy modern-day music production. They used the instruments which were accessible and drew inspiration from simple, yet poetic things.
