    Description

    Folk Is The New Black
    was released in 2006. This is a signed poster that accompanied the release.  It was found in a box of artwork that was shipped to me through e-bay.  It has a few issues - one small tear and one crease/roll when it came out of that shipment.  The seller didn't want it back when I told her what I found.
    Janis Ian is a cultural folk wonder house!  I can remember listening to her
    in my collage days in the late 80's.  This is a true
    collectable
    with her signature!
    Poster
    will come rolled in a 3" tube.
    Inside Scoop:
    First album since
    Restless Eyes
    with no co-writes,
    Folk Is The New Black
    is a return to Janis' folk roots. However, this is not a lighthearted nostalgia trip, but instead a true folk album: sparse but tasteful instrumentation underneath powerful lyrics of social and political commentary, with enough variety to keep the listener beguiled. Rated four stars and a "must have" by the Toronto Star, which said "Janis Ian's
    Folk Is The New Black
    is a bona fide jaw-dropper, a stunning achievement that embraces the zeitgeist of the age, rocks at an assured pace, oozes with satiric wit, edgy humour and barely concealed rage, flaunts her disgust of the new republic, of human greed and cruelty with intellectual muscle and a burning imagination, and wrenches the heart". Unfortunately, the album's insistence on challenging the accepted norms was a little too ahead of its time to gain any recognition in the US - and now, 15 years later, takes on a prescience and poignancy that are almost frightening.

    Unfortunately, more and more bidders are deciding NOT to pay for an item once they bid on and win it. I have a zero tolerance for this kind of activity on eBay and it will result in a non-paying bidder case being opened with eBay. Due to this rapidly growing problem payment is now due within 3 days of an auction ending.
    I hope all of the honest bidders out there can understand and please realize that these changes aren’t caused by you. Thanks to all of you eBay bidders who pay quickly, communicate, and make buying & selling a pleasure on eBay. You are sincerely appreciated.
