Album Notes

Bob Moss breathes a welcome breath of fresh air into this collection of Folk classics and Pop gems. A must hear for Folk-rock hipsters of all ages. Folknik 2 is now available!! Go to: (www.soundcorecords.com/bob_moss) to check it out. You might think that a broke 48 year old singer/songwriter ought to put down his thrift store guitar, get a regular job and move out of that damn storage garage/office. But then you've probably never met Bob Moss, heard one of his obscure recordings or seen any of his unique visual art. Bob was born in 1953, the son of an American serviceman.

Other early influences were Woody Guthrie, the Beach Boys, Little Jimmy Dickens, Elvis, and Oscar Brand to name just a few.

But if you allow yourself to really listen to a banjo version of Cohen's 'Nancy" or Tom Rapp's 'There Was A Man', you'll find the songs we always hoped were classics truly are. Bob Moss has brought us these old favorites fresh-scrubbed and ready to make us fall in love with them again. Be careful, though. If you've just come home from a bad date 'The Prisoner's Song' is
