I'll share some songs that I've always liked:

Phil Ochs - I Ain't Marching Anymore



The Kingston Trio - Where Have All the Flowers Gone?



The Kingston Trio - Tom Dooley



And of course, Woody Guthrie:

I Ain't Got No Home in This World Anymore:



This Land Is Your Land:

I've been looking forward to this one.

I have to include some Pete Seeger to start.

Pete Seeger- If I Had A Hammer


Pete Seeger- We Shall Overcome


Leadbelly, one of the most influential and admired folk/blues/roots musicians of the 30s

Leadbelly- Goodnight Irene


Leadbelly- House Of The Rising Sun


One of my favorite folk songs of all time, Shenandoah. It has been covered so many times, so I'll pick a good one.

The Brothers Four- Shenandoah


And I want to include some of my favorite covers from Bruce Springsteen's Seeger Sessions, because it's the one thing he does a great job on.

Bruce Springsteen- John Henry


Bruce Springsteen- O Mary Don't You Weep
