Home-made folk music is probably the best description of this music. I would say that the music works better than the vocals for me, but your mileage may vary. At times, I'm definitely reminded of Arlo Guthrie to some degree. The lyrics of this are definitely topical and make some important points. I suppose that's the biggest compliment for folk music. 

This review is available in book (paperback and…

New Single 'Burn Down The High School' By Blind Uncle Harry

As always, it’s great. It’s funny, of course, but offers up a more serious conversation about the education system, constant testing, academia and social hierarchy.
