Pointed political poetry and savage social satire. Explicit lyrics? You bet. Good acoustic guitar pickin' too.

Details:
Mark Westin has been a songwriter and performer for long enough to be good at it. "dirty folk" represents some of his finest work. By the way, the songs on "dirty folk" aren't dirty. The people in them are.

Mark really wants people to enjoy his music and doesn't like the idea of compromising. However, he's writing this right now in the third person to create the illusion that there's an enormous PR machine behind him, because that's what he's been led to believe you're supposed to do in his position.

His position at the moment is seated upright in a wooden chair by the fireplace of his old farmhouse in New York's Hudson Valley. Some other positions he likes are leapfrog and reverse cowgirl. Some people call those compromising positions but Mark has never understood why. There's far more compromise in making music for money than in making love for free.
