  New song up now for GRAMMY nominated Joe Troop of Red, White & Blues” (feat. Tim O’Brien) is Joe’s homage to the difficult legacy of America. Folk Radio UK premiered the song today for 4th of July and Joe’s got some interesting thoughts on the holiday: “The 4th of July is really odd. People celebrate the independence of a nation while gorging on grilled sausages and decking themselves out in a bunch of patriotic trash produced in China. It’s very similar to a sporting event, but with a far greater impact on collective identity. Nonetheless, younger generations’ disinterest in celebrating is noteworthy. There’s a major zeitgeist shift in the US right now, and the declaration of Juneteenth as a federal holiday has placed the convergence of nationalism and white identity under the microscope. Not surprisingly, Dixie’s death growl grows ever more deafening.”
