  Fundamental Folk is Daniel Ayers’ debut album. In this treasury of historically important folk songs, Ayers pays homage to the songs that inspired his musical career.
  
  Driven by Ayers' measured vocals and spirited picking, Fundamental Folk brings to the millennial generation the boldest of murder ballads, most lonesome of love songs, and pluckiest riffs on clawhammer banjo. Free of embellished string tracks and fluffy auto-tune, Fundamental Folk is an offering of American music in its purest, simplest form. From "Cocaine Blues," with its blues-time finger picking and sordid lament, to the gentle pleadings of "Let's All Help the Cowboy Sing the Blues," Ayers offers a tour of the American music landscape, a kind of FOLK 101, exploring the possibilities of acoustic sound.
  
  Ayers provides all vocals on Fundamental Folk and covers the instruments as well: banjo, guitar, and harmonica.
