I want to listen to some folk music.
Where do I start?
Woody Guthrie's guitar sticker makes me cringe but I've heard he was pretty good.
frank turner probably. havent heard him in a while tho
Guthrie was active during a time when fascism was a legitimate force in America with its own party. You sound ignorant.

>cringing at a man with that sticker on his guitar while Mussolini and Hitler are active
teenager pinpointed
Vashti Bunyan - Just Another Diamond Day
Sibylle Baier - Colour Green
Anne Briggs - The Time Has Come
Male sung folk is shit. Ignore all folk rock.

Simon and Garfunkel tbqh lad
>>60403456
terrible in comparison to bands like Gentle Giant, Cardiacs and Magma.

>andrew jackson jihad
band name contains far to much edge to be even worth giving a shot as a folk band. only plebs think folk is about fighting the man
>>60403627
Only plebs care about image.
>>60403710
regardless of image/name, i listened to the bunny album and its terrible
>>60403710
only true if there's any substance behind the image
Jackson C. Frank
Linda Parsecs
Joni Mitchell
Robbie Basho I guess would be considered folk so I recommend you listen to him.
Robbie's style was more spiritual/new age/world folk or some weird genre like that since he had his own vocal/guitar style that's unlike anything else you'll hear.

Visions Of The Country is his most listened to album but all of his albums are really great.
His most popular song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYaGChm8RWw

He's considered the frontrunner of the American Primitivism movement alongside John Fahey, though Basho and Fahey had two very distinct styles.
This album is a good start.
