What are some easy folk/singer-songwriter songs to play and sing along to? I've been playing guitar for about 6 months now and I want to start practicing playing and singing at the same time. Preferably standard tuning and no capo.

Mountain goats and NMH if you're up for it

I started getting better at playing and singing at the same time by doing a bunch of Iron and Wine tunes. Not too hard to play and ends up sounding pretty good. Stuff like Naked as we Came and Each Coming Night
April 8th by NMH is pretty simple

Where should I start with Mountain Goats? I've never listened to them before.
Why no capo or non-standard tunings? They're both cheap on Amazon.

All Hail West Texas and before. Full Force Galesburg and The Cornner's Gambit are top tier.
Don't bother with John's new stuff unless you like shitty tumblr-tier indie-folk

I'm not a big fan of using capo and I don't know how to play chords using alternative tunings.
