The trend of former punk artists becoming folk singers isn’t unusual

On Friday’s new episode of Roots Music Rambler, the duo behind Jackson Pines – Joe Machovechi and James Black – join the show to talk about their New Jersey-based folk rock band, new music and more. One area the two talked about was the trend for punk musicians to evolve into folk acts, which Joe says is normal.

Falls also explains a story of being thrown out of a bar, which is worth the listen as well.

Plus, Falls goes off on grammar nazis in record collecting groups who wag their fingers at people for saying the word “vinyl” as a noun to describe records. (What do you think? Is “I love vinyls,” an acceptable phrase?)
