Wasn't what I was expecting when I saw Folk music mentioned, but then I do have UK folk as my baseline lol, but it is always nice hearing country, Appalachia or bluegrass since they do have their links back to home for me
I guess I should have specified. When I think folk I usually think Guthrie, early Dylan, that kind of sound, which always does have that bluegrass feel and seems like a banjo wouldn't be out of place.
Nice finds for your TTT! I am familiar with the first two, but the last one was completely new but good. I haven't heard McClintock or Guthrie for literally years. Sad how quick some great music can be so easily forgotten. I guess in time most of it will be forgotten, there were a lot of composers in the time of Mozart, but who do we remember?
Too true. It disappears fast and only the top guys and only their top hits survive. At the same time, I think music does go through fads. Folk hasn't really been popular for a long time. I can imagine there will be some social event in the future that brings this style back to the forefront, and some of these classic tunes will come with it.
I'm certainly familiar with the first two. We used to go to some country folk festivals here for a while and Big Rock Candy Mountain was always covered. And Guthrie was one of the records Dad had (amongst a plethora of others of course). I do love that old world folk.
Here's a tune that comes to mind when I think of those festivals.
I'll try to come bacck and listen to the third one - I'm in class supervising at the moment so I can't listen right now!
Great stuff here. I used to go to a folk music festival here in Michigan every late summer. They had all kinds of good music there. Folk music has always been heavy on social commentary, but you kind of know what you are getting going in!

Do love a good bit of Banjo'ing 😃
Which reminds me, this came up on Apple Country Radio the other day and just have to share!
Has an original album Mumfords style of performance, which is good to me

Fantastic songs today, I enjoyed those!

It's a unique sound isn't it? Not quite like anything else. And the social commentary is always there too, of course.
That's a great song you posted!

That'd be fun to go to every year!
It was a blast back in the day. I am not sure I could handle the three straight days of partying at my current age!
