      This is where a lot of Americana music comes in … the online station Americana Boogie Radio has lots of defiant working class songs on it’s playlist :-)

        Yeah, that’s a good one.

        Boot Liquor on SomaFM is full of working people music, with an emphasis on the drinkin and dyin side of the genre.
