Some songs are very folksy and country, others not so much. Catchy, steady beat, electric and acoustic guitars, piano (sometimes). Check out 2, 11, 12, 13. However, those are the less folksy songs so if you’re going more for country, maybe check out 6 and 7. A label on the case said FCC in 12. I didn’t hear anything though but I’d trust the case label. Everything else is FCC clean although they say “bastard” in 11…
1. (0:36) Pw134- Weird noises. Crackling, siren, buzz, fuzz…
**2. (4:11) Believe- Fuzz leads into electric guitar strumming. Steady beat. Cool guitar and bass ascension towards end
3. (4:01) Cabrini-Green- Folksy acoustic guitar strumming that leads into intense electric guitar later. Something about the beat and voice reminds me of Green Day for some reason
4. (3:16) Omaha- buzzy electric guitar tune. Off beat guitar strumming. Tune descends and builds up in bridge. Change songs quickly at end because there is clapping immediately after the fade out
5. (4:19) Everything is Grey- Keyboard with guitar accompaniment
6. (2:33) Swimming Song- Folksy acoustic guitar strumming. Fiddle, maybe banjo
7. (3:33) Country Song- Definitely country. Guitar strumming and sliding. Upbeat
8. (3:00) Lover- Clean electric guitar strum in intro. Upbeat. Also reminds me of Green Day
9. (5:05) If I Had a Bike- Guitar picking in intro. Constantly repeat words “If I had a bike” at end
10. (2:46) Famous- Ricocheting clapping beat with vocals that sound like talking through megaphone. Folksy tune and beat
**11. (3:50) Guadalajara- He says “bastard.” Dunno if that’s ok. Nice acoustic guitar strumming tune (repetitive). Simple guitar, bass, and soft drum beat. Very catchy
**12. (4:26) Fool’s Gold- FCC. Wavering, delayed electric guitar. Chord sliding with acoustic guitar accompaniment. Reminds me of Blue October
**13. (4:30) Sometimes- Beat-y electric guitar and keyboard
