Chuck Ragan
No matter how many times a rocker goes soft, it’s always a little jarring. But the transition from punk to folk is not all that abrupt, considering the genres’ shared emphasis on simple songwriting, emotional directness, and activist inclinations. After doing time in Hot Water Music, Chuck Ragan dove into the dusty, low-key roots of folk—and pulled it off without ever glancing back, even in the wake of Hot Water Music’s recent reunion tours. With two full-length collections of timeless folk tunes already under his belt—2007’s Feast Or Famine and 2009’s Gold Country—Ragan committed his raw, punk-hewn bark to a third solo LP, Covering Ground, out now on SideOneDummy Records.
