It's still yet to be explained to me how Mumford & Sons are "true to American roots music." The influences seem to be U2 (Irish), Dave Matthews (arguably South African), Coldplay (British), &...

Yeah, people who buy Mumford & Sons records are going to buy Dave Matthews Band records or Coldplay records or the Lumineers or U2 or whatever. No one's going to buy Bonnie Raitt or John Fullbright's...

I object to them being nominated in the Americana category. I think that record kind of has some irish folk roots with the banjo & the strumming, which some Americana may share, but the song...

I'm 29, too. And I think the opposite... I think it's one of those songs that will always be catchy, & kind of quintessential for that time period. I think that's why they'll never get past that...

That's the thing, though. They didn't write it. Memphis Minnie wrote it, & they appropriated her life experience as their own, which is disingenuous at best, theft at worst.
