My take on Cold as the Clay

It kicks ass. Greg's original songs are great and the classic folk songs are very well done. I've never liked the sound of a banjo but I guess it's kinda required for the songs. I like the way folk music often tells a story (often involving forbidden love and murder)unlike most modern music. It is one of our last surviving forms of oral tradition and it is good to see that a few artists are trying to preserve it's legacy.
I can understand that Cold as the Clay is not for everyone but I enjoyed it quite a bit during my first listening and even more upon subsequent listenings. Anybody expecting to hear shades of Bad Religion would be sorely disappointed but those who appreciate art, history/Americana, and a good tale will like it.
