Any folk fans here?
 

I know "folk" is a kind of broad genre with a lot of sub-genres, so my "folk" listening tendencies are probably different than a lot of y'all, but I digs me some Melissa Ferrick, Dar Williams, Catie Curtis, Dave Carter and Tracy Grammer, Tegan and sara (Pre-shitty punk days), and so on.

I know people tend more towards "punk" and "metal" and all, but if there are country fans on here, surely there must be a folk fan or two.

Neutral Milk Hotel. Check out "In The Aeroplane Over The Sea". Amazing stuff

I'll check them out once I'm doiner listening to the shitload of new music I gots.

I'm a huuuuge dylan fan, most of his early music is based out of english folk. I highly recommend his music, but i'm sure you all know his music enough to have your own opions already i guess

I didn't mention Dylan, because he tends to transcend genres. He's liked by so many.

I'm going to see Dylan on May 21 :cool:

Aside from Irish folk, I like a bit of Bonnie Prince Billy, Nick Drake, Smog/Bill Callahan, Devendra Banhart and Vetiver. Few others probably. Ray Lamontagne might stretch to a folky sound I suppose. Haven't really got into old American folk like Pete Seeger and Woodie Guthrie properly yet, but I love the Wilco and Billy Bragg Mermaid Avenue Volumes (their takes on unrecorded Woodie Guthrie songs).

Jets To Brazil- Orange Rhyming Dictionary, is one of my favorite albums right now and i think it could be considered Folk. Love the song Sae Anemone ( probably my favorite song right this moment. ).

amazing. one of my favorite albums and songs.

Well Old Dan Tucker was a fine old man, washed his face in a frying pan...

yea, for folk music, you basically need hard-hitting euro-dance music.... nothing else does the job really. Search around on iTunes for "euro club hits" or check this link:

Fucking bot. Ugh.

LOL Nunder.

I'm reporting you for spam.

Didn't I hook you up with some folk albums before?

Anyways, I'm listening to fairport Conventions' "Liege and Lief" album at the mo, for the first time, and it's pretty tasty.

May have.

The Holy Modal Rounders

Patrick Street do some good Irish folk music. Also do a good cover of Music for a Found Harmonium, great song

Winterpills

You can stream their two albums on their website. You might already know of them, seen as they are from Massachusettes.

I'm contemplating on going to see them whilst i'm staying in Boston, in July, at Club Passim in Cambridge.

fleet foxes devendara banhart.

I own their records. They're heavily played on WRSI. Or they were, I don't know if they are now. :D

Do you think they are worth going to see, live?

Im loving Devon Sproule at the minute. And The Levellers.

I liked the stuff they did live in WRSI's studio promoting their second album, so I'd say yes. I haven't seen them at an actual concert, though.

Never heard of either. Anygood places I can sample their music?

I don't know if you'd classify these as folk but
