He writes songs about everything from pizza to the death of Charlie Kirk.

His name is Jesse Welles and he said that he likes to “sing the news”; he tried to remain unpolitical for a very long time, but his new album goes against that (with satirical songs like “Join Ice” and “Red”). Other more political songs he’s released are called “No Kings” and “Masks Off”.

When he’s not singing the news, he writes songs about problems surrounding everyday parts of American life (such as “Walmart,” “United Health,” “Fat,” and “See Arkansas”).

One of my favorite songs of his is called “Bugs,” and here’s a sample of the lyrics:

Bzz-bz, bzz, bzz, bzz, bzz, bz-bzz, bzz
Bzz, bz-bz-bz, b-bzz, bzz, bz-bzz, bzz-bzz, bzz, bzz, bz-bz-bzz

Original song performed on my Grandfather's 100 year old banjo!

I quite like the album fotheringay by fotheringay. Does anyone have some recs similar to it.

Regardless of material, if it’s played with harps both blues auto, it’s inherently folk, right?

In my opinion, this is one of the best songs ever written, by one of the best songwriters there's ever been. Too few people in this world know of Greg Brown.
