about

From the review in ‘Stirrings’ magazine of Pete Morton’s CD ‘The Land Of Time’: “The rap influenced rants left me screaming internally for them to stop. His voice and singing style doesn't appeal to me and nor does his attitude. I'm of the opinion that guitar-playing singer-songwriters, like a lot of unaccompanied singers, have been a key factor in the decline of the folk scene in the last three or four decades.”

lyrics

The beginning is now...

If there’s one thing killing folk music
It isn’t the melodeons
It isn’t Dylan going electric (I don't believe you)
It isn’t the banjo
And it isn’t even Mumford and Sons
It’s Pete Morton’s attitude
Pete Morton’s attitude
Pete Morton’s attitude
And his rap-influenced rants
His rap-influenced rants

There’s just one thing killing folk music
And it isn’t the X-Factor on our screens
It isn’t bagpipes, dulcimers, or fiddles
It isn’t Mark Radcliffe
And it’s certainly not 'Stirrings' magazine
It’s Pete Morton’s attitude
Pete Morton’s attitude
Pete Morton’s attitude
And his bleedin guitar
