There needs to be more trans folk musicians. I know there are trans folk punk musicians. But I want some folksy stuff. I want some country stuff too. And some bluegrass. Give me that trans townes van zandt. Girl oh woody guthery. A Ralph Stanley whose a faggot

“In Your Love” by Tyler Childers

Bluegrass is just Folk Nightcore

[lastoneout]

my real toxic trait is that I think almost any song could be improved with the inclusion of either a banjo, a clarinet, a fiddle, a horn section, or all four

Jean Ritchie, The Mother of Folk

Like the music in the new Hunger Games movie but not really know anything about folk/bluegrass/country? Here are some quick recs to get you started!

(This is not comprehensive and the genres here are a little whack, these are just songs I listen to as someone raised on good Appalachian vibes. Not necessarily from just Appalachian artists, particularly in the second section. Just think it’s nice that people are getting more exposure to folk + bluegrass!)

Forgive me for sounding incredibly basic and cringey but I do think that “ballad of songbirds and snakes” deserves a bit of credit for positively portraying Appalachian culture and acknowledging the struggle of those people.

I know Rachel Zegler is not Appalachian, but she pulled of a bluegrass/country sound in a way that at LEAST seemed more authentic than modern commercialized stadium bro country. (With some help from auto tune possibly)

Her accent in some of her lines could use a little work, but even my fellow southerners sound TERRIBLY unnatural when we try to mimic our own accents so what do I know 🤷🏼‍♀️

I’m from a middle class suburb of Nashville though so might not be the best judge lol 😂.

What are your thoughts if you are an Appalachian or southern person who has seen the hunger games??? Is it’s portrayal of district 12 good or bad?

Apparently Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson were both born in Kentucky even though their accents are more “neutral”.

As someone who lives in the deep south--South Carolina--I was always around country and bluegrass music, and I grew up hearing older songs and newer songs and I stopped listening to it because of peer pressure and shame, but also because I was sick of it, but I've recently been listening to country songs again, some I remember, some I don't and I forgot how many country and bluegrass love songs there are! Like, the best country songs are the ones about revenge on shitty men, leftist values, silly shit, and love/breakup songs. That's all you gotta know. Don't listen to none of that "AMERICA RAHH" and "I beat my wife while she wears a bikini" bullshit. Like, there are a lot of good country and bluegrass songs that get pushed to the side because of post 9/11 country. Like, GOOD country music is actually fun. Banjo's and the works are also hella fun to play.

Honorable Mention:

[chlorophyllcrimescene]

Tuesday night, stirring through wax-cloth sleep, waking up from antebellum blue nothingness with blood smeared on my chin. Chain-link fence and a cigarette before we leave. Box of reds or blue shorts? Remember when I was still a quitter, dreaming big about the belly of a pirate ship? Some of my philosophies are better not lived by, only watched through silver screens or book pages like leather-skin. Next is a sun-eaten face counting out cash on the counter. Oh, to be straddling the Smokies with one foot on Tybee shores.
