nonanon Posted May 16, 2003 Posted May 16, 2003 I’ve been hearing some buzz about Mickey and Mitch, lately, but so far I’ve been afeared to go see them. Maybe I'll find a nice empty theatre this weekend.  Quote

I realy like the Indigo Girls  I agree that Ani is really raw, but I don't think I would consider her music folk style. Except maybe the one with Utah Philips. Otherwise, she is mostly just an angry girl. Quote
E-rock Posted May 16, 2003 Posted May 16, 2003 Leonard Cohen (he is the real thing)  For newer stuff check out:  Palace/Will Oldham/Bonnie Prince Billy (all the same guy) The album Days in the Wake is quintessential  Nina Nastasia  Giant Sand/Howe Gelb - especially "chore of enchantment". (2/3's of Giant Sand are now Calexico) Quote
Dwayner Posted May 16, 2003 Posted May 16, 2003 Leonard Cohen is Canadian.  The best American folk singers, without debate were (are?):  Mitch and Mickey The Folksmen The New Main Street Singers  Quote

Dru Posted May 16, 2003 Posted May 16, 2003 No, he never took out American citizenship despite living there for years.... according to this biography of him anyways... Â Other good Canadian folk is Gordon Lightfoot and Stan Rogers. Or Roger Whittaker.... why he's even got a song called Song For Erik Quote
Dave_Schuldt Posted May 16, 2003 Posted May 16, 2003 Listen to kexp.org on the net or in the Seattle area at 90.3FM. Also KBCS at 91.3 from Bellvue Comunity Colage. In Everet try KSER I don't know the frequency All 3 stations are public so no fucking adds. Try npr.org they may have a folk show. In the Seattle area don't forget folklife on Menorial day weekend Quote
Toast Posted May 16, 2003 Posted May 16, 2003 June Carter Cash just passed away this afternoon (sniff) Â Fer new stuff, I'll back the Allison Krauss and Gillian Welch suggestions. How 'bout Emmy Lou? Quote

Dru Posted May 16, 2003 Posted May 16, 2003 can DFA recommend some good American Fork Music suitable for climbing in a silly 30 foot high cave and calling it the future of American sport climbing? (c. 1991) Quote

RobBob Posted May 16, 2003 Posted May 16, 2003 Now don't try to tell me June Carter Cash is Canadian! Â Did Roger Whittaker really write a love song to Erik?? Quote
Winter Posted May 16, 2003 Posted May 16, 2003 Aw man folks, what about these?  Joan Baez Bob Dylan Leo Kottke (best ever) Jon Prine John Hartford  And if you can find it, perhaps the true roots of country and folk: Jimmie Rodgers (the old one). Merle Haggard put out a cool LP in '68 of Jimmie Rodgers covers, and you can sometimes find Jimmie Rodgers compilations in good record stores. But the original recordings .. don't know where they are. Quote
Winter Posted May 16, 2003 Posted May 16, 2003 Oh yeah, and if you're willing to listen to the brits check out Richard Thompson, Linda Thompson, Sandy Denny and Fairport Convention. All good stuff. Quote
Paco Posted May 16, 2003 Posted May 16, 2003 Nanci Griffith Johnny Cash Gil Scott Heron, well sort of. Â And I second Bob Dylan. Quote
Paco Posted May 16, 2003 Posted May 16, 2003 Oh, and check some of David Allen Coe's stuff too. Quote

Mr._Natural Posted May 16, 2003 Posted May 16, 2003 John Hartford was the shit. Gentle On My Mind is like the second most recorded song ever but most people think that Glen Campbell wrote it. Check out the Harford Restrospective (6 HOURS TOTAL!) here Quote
