Die Digitalisierung von Musik und ihre neuen Verbreitungswege haben die Musikbranche scheinbar grundlegend verändert: Musiker: innen müssen nunmehr ständig auf Tour gehen, um Einnahmen zu erzielen. ...Doch war das Touren nicht schon immer Bestandteil des Musikberufs, besonders etwa im Genre des Folk- Rock? Anna Lisa Ramella nimmt in ihrer medienethnographischen Untersuchung die Erfahrungen von tourenden Bands wie »Broncho« und »Two Gallants« im Detail in den Blick und begleitet sie mit der Kamera auf Tour. Touren erweist sich als Steady Rollin', das beständig zwischen Bewegung und Stillstellung oszilliert. Diese Praxis der Rhythmisierung kommt gleichermaßen in der ethnographischen Erforschung und Darstellung zur Geltung.
Many 1960s folk-rock hits were not original, but neither were they referred to as cover versions. Cover versions were “inauthentic,” but folk-rock repertoire was defined by songs by Bob Dylan and ...Joni Mitchell, interpreted by performers like the Byrds and Judy Collins. “The House of the Rising Sun” exemplifies adaptation via “trad. arr.”; “Mr. Tambourine Man” demonstrates “folk process” blending with Tin Pan Alley; and “Both Sides Now” highlights early rock critics’ questioning of folk values via discussion of interpretive women folksingers. The way each song was framed within contemporary cultural discourse highlights how “folk” or rock as “folk culture” acted as an ideological smokescreen for competing versions of rock music.
The genre boundaries of modern music and literature have recently undergone significant changes that are connected with the appearance of a relatively new direction – rock music. A distinctive ...feature of this musical abstract is the presence of various sub-genre directions. One of these is folk rock music. The article presents an analysis of the meaning of mythonyms and theonyms in the cultural paradigm of folk music on the example of the work of the domestic folk-rock bands «The Melnitsa» and «The Nemnogo nervno». The process of studying the lyrics, reveals the correlation between the name of the text, represented by the mythonyms name, and the plot of the song in the context from which the mythonym (theonym) was borrowed. In the study the individual author’s transformation of the meaning of the myth is reflected and the religious and philosophical significance of onyms in the folk tradition is revealed.

This study focuses on accent shift or stylization to American English features in Anglophone pop-rock music and examines linguistic constraints alongside music-related considerations, as well as the ...effect of changes in musical genre on variable accent shift. The case study is the British band Mumford and Sons and their variable production of non-prevocalic rhotics as either present or absent. Mumford and Sons is of interest because they have displayed a change in their musical style throughout their career from Americana to alt-rock. The band’s four studio albums were auditorily analyzed and coded for rhotic vs. non-rhotic with aid from spectrograms. The linguistic factors considered were word class, preceding vowel according to the word’s lexical set, complexity of the preceding vowel, syllable complexity, stress, and location within the word and phrase. In addition, the effect of singing-related factors of syllable elongation and rhyming, and of the specific album, were also explored. Results show that rhoticity is favored in content words, stressed contexts, complex syllables, and NURSE words. This pattern is explained as stemming from the perceptual prominence of those contexts based on their acoustic and phonological characteristics. Results further show that syllable elongation leads to more rhoticity and that rhyming words tend to agree in their (non-)rhoticity. Finally, the degree of rhoticity decreases as the band departs from Americana in their later albums, highlighting the relevance of music genre for accent stylization.
