Checking out an album where Alan Lomax himself performs folk and blues songs he learned traveling across Texas. He has a good voice for rustic folk/country/blues.

If I Could Only Remember My Name is the debut solo album by the American singer-songwriter David Crosby, released on February 22, 1971, by Atlantic Records..

The album went on to achieve cult status and praise from latter-day critics for its austere mood, eclectic improvisation and otherworldly harmony singing. In 2000, it was voted number 156 in the third edition of Colin Larkin's book All Time Top 1000 Albums. He stated "if you are not familiar with this miraculous record, please take the risk." A Head Heritage review of the 2006 reissue compares the album with Nick Drake and the acoustic material of Meddle-era Pink Floyd.[20] It has been labeled a progenitor of the freak folk genre. - Wikipedia

The Albion Band’s “Lark Rise to Candleford” was one of my childhood exposures to folk, and I still have my parents vinyl of it. Listening to it again, I had forgotten quite how good it is. Though I appreciate different tracks to I used to, I think that uplifting opening is why I have such affection for “Brighton Camp”.

Also you can play a guessing game each time you hear a melodeon: is that John Kirkpatrick or John Tams playing it? (What, you didn’t know that Tams could play the box as well as singing, fiddling etc? Shame!)

Honored to review Jessye DeSilva's Glitter Up the Dark for No Depression. It's an album of trans euphoria, redemption -- and a hint of rage -- cradled in what music that sounds like Stevie Nicks taking a swing at arena rock.

Sometimes It’s Too Much’ written a few years ago- just released 🎶
I had this little banjo riff that felt so right for these tender words.
The whole arrangement was basically about using space & melody to bring a wistful ray of hope into a dark place.

I came across Colm McGuinness mostly for his fantasy/D&D stuff, but his straight-up folksy work is often some of my favourite stuff from him:
