Chuck Ragan – Camaraderie of the Commons

Weathered folk soloist Chuck Ragan is offering a free download of his song “Camaraderie of the Commons.”  The song originally appeared as a bonus track on Ragan’s latest release, Covering Ground (SideOneDummy Records).  Ragan discusses his inspiration behind the song:

“The first time I read this term and found the meaning, it stuck with me in a way where I realized that whether we understand the initial outcome of our acts or not, whether we deplete our resources or not, there are common bonds, communities and individuals who truly wish to make a difference in this world within the time that we’re here and preserve as much as we’re able to for the young ones who’ll follow us,” he explains. “Even if we as a society have passed the point of no return and at times live in a way that is of detriment to our longevity.”
