Just came across a duplicate playlist of Time-Life's Golden Age of Country that some kind soul compiled and uploaded. Fun.

I'm listening to Kathy Smith's album, "2", from 1971. In about half songs, Kathy sounds like a fairly demure folky; I like much better the faster songs, where there's a slight hint of some unbridled direction that she never quite took:-

Welcome to MB, Calluna!
 Your Dead, Drake, and Dylan albums are great favourites of mine too! Here are a couple of recs you might like because they are equally, consistently good and from the same era:- Blue - Joni Mitchell An Evening With - Dando Shaft Dust Bowl Ballads* - Woody Guthrie Whales And Nightingales - Judy Collins Basket of Light - Pentangle * This one was recorded in 1940, on 78 r.p.m! Re-issued in 1964 I think

American musician with folk/traditional music influences from Eastern Europe. I was looking for bands which feature violin a few months ago and found this.

I’m not good at categorizing songs into classifications listed on MUSIC BANTER so this is only a stab in the dark. Having just listened to all of this I realise most of it sure isn’t anything like Country or Folk. Sorry Kiddies.

Always good to see John Martyn represented on Music Banter, Ayn, and this is as good a place as any to put his music - except that again, I'm afraid, there is already a thread dedicated to good old JM:- https://www.musicbanter.com/general-...hn-martyn.html
(I am a bit of a stickler about keeping MB in good order; I'd say that the majority of members probably care a lot less than I do about these things. None the less, I wonder if I might suggest the "search" function that appears on the top banner of the MB screen. It's not always helpful, though I find the results are much more useful when I use the "show posts" option which it offers.) John Martyn certainly started out with folk music, but took a lot of liberties with its interpretation! Here's a guy with a more conventional approach who I imagine you've heard of: Lionel Long is not a particular favourite of mine, but he was good at conveying the beauty inherent in some old traditional songs:- PS: as for recognizing genres of music, I found that I learnt an awful lot just by poking around on MB. In my head, I divide my musical education into two parts: before joining MB and after joining MB.
