Today on thap gump we extend from Gabi's theme of yesterday, the War Between The States, with a programme of folk music from North America. The music today goes back beyond the Civil War – there are early folk songs from the United States and also Native American pieces and influences in today's playlist – and continues more or less to the present.
Through today's music you can clearly trace the influence of traditional British folk music on the music of North America – including the roots of country music, a genre we'll at least touch on today: we'll also verge into, if not rock, then at least folk-rock, and present many examples of the breadth, diversity and richness of North American folk music.
