about

Folkloric covers from America. Songs both new and old. Don't let the subject matter bum you out cuz none of us are alone! Gonna try and add one a day so check back. And i'm gonna try to write more here too if you're interested.

(The subtitle, and at least one song, come from a Louvin Brothers album that is very much worth checking out for the harmonies alone)

about

The Big Net New York, New York

The Big Net is led by songwriter Kevin Copeland on guitar and vocals, with Andrew Emge on the drums, and Logan Miley on bass and as the band's recording engineer. They are a folk-rock power trio based somewhere in the Northeastern United States, and their sound is not unlike the sweet howling of a dog in a moving car.
