The Modern Folk

Greetings Dead Freaks.

We've got a great chat with Josh Moss of The Modern Folk. Josh's music ranges from gentle folk to, well, out there and covers a lot of points in between. We talk about his recent and upcoming releases and spin a huge mix of Grateful Dead.

I also take a few minutes to remember the late Rick Harris. Known for his work on the brilliant Thoughts On The Dead blog, Rick passed recently and he will be sorely missed. If you're not familiar with his work, please head over to https://www.thoughtsonthedead.com and check it out. Go Easy, Rick.

The Modern Folk has a vast catalog. Among the most recent is "Primitive Future/Lyran group" from Eiderdown Records. You can also find his "American Mountain" tape (only a couple left!) and so much more at themodernfolk.bandcamp.com.
