Description

While traditional Folk music paints rural, blue-collared portraits, contemporary Urban Folk artists like Roger Manning and Ani DiFranco cultivate their Folk-Punk roots on cracked city streets. Owing as much to Bob Dylan's persona as to Dust Bowl Ballads, Urban Folk songs are often simple bouts bursting with sharp-witted criticisms.
