Hey, wait a minute. I checked that site, RYM, for Freak Folk, came across a boat load of names I never heard in my life, and at the very last page it had John Fahey as the last entry, but it didn't have any bars or whatever that means. But then again on the RYM site it has John Fahey as "Avant-Folk" & Donavan as "Psychedelic Folk." In all honesty I really don't want those artist classified as Freak Folk. But it ain't right my list gets ignored cause I deliberately pick good artists. I bet if I picked the Mumford Band you would be all over that ****.

I got the feeling you were flying blind on this round, check out this article, and don't be surprised if you see some names that were on my list being name-dropped.
