Thanks rostasi! Extraordinary, as always, the breadth of your knowledge about music.

^ That's a beautiful track!
SM has a great voice and an impressive history; escaping from Algeria when she was branded a trouble-maker, singing in Paris before landing a UK record contract. In the space of a few years, she went from receiving death-threats in Algeria to being head-hunted in Europe, so if they ever make a film of her life, it should be pretty dramatic. (I have a cd of her stuff, but unfortunately I don't have the tracklist or sources for it, otherwise I'd post a follow-up recommendation; she has lots of good songs.)

I'd recommend "Deb" & "Mesk Elil" from her.
You can get a video thru Wrasse Records, but it's solely an acoustic affair if you find that kind of thing interesting. Wrasse, by the way, is a label you may want to pursue/peruse for more goodies. now playing: Mahanojaus Lietuviška Mainerių Orkestra - Storo Yono A band of Lithuanian coal-miners. |

Thanks for the recommendations. If I ever have the patience, I might cross-check them against the tracks I already have.
^ I had to laugh at this for its sheer unexpected obscurity! If I had to chose an obscure talent, I might go for Aynur Kalay. She sings traditional Kasakh folk songs with a strong voice; doesn't have a page on Wikipedia, but has quite a few clips on Youtube. They all have an exotic but cheesy look, as if she's about to be photographed for a 1950s edition of National Geographic.

Okay, so I'm having trouble finding folk recs on the internet that aren't infested with folk rock and indie folk, so if I just wanted a top 10 of folk albums to check out for a beginner then what should I listen to? I'm cool with folk rock albums being included, but **** off with indie folk.

I chose "The Byrds Play Dylan" to kill two birds with one stone (no pun intended) I wanted to combine two recs into one. Roscoe Holcomb is on the Mountain Music of Kentucky, still I wanted to give him another mention cause he was an influence on Bob Dylan. I no idea how popular or not Pratick Sky, Sibylle Baier and Kate Wolf are. They appeal to my quiet and retiring side.
