Folk Rock

folk rock cover

A list of personal favorite performers that could fit into the folk rock category:

·         Al Stewart

·         Alison Krauss (she could be country, she could be bluegrass, sometimes she's gospel, but she could be folk rock . . . )

·         Arlo Guthrie

·         The Band

·         Beach Boys

·         Bob Dylan

·         Bonnie Raitt (some would argue with this, and she is probably more bluesy than folk . . . )

·         Bruce Cockburn

·         Bruce Springsteen (this could be a surprise, even to Springsteen . . . )

·         Buffalo Springfield

·         Byrds

·         Cat Stevens

·         Creedence Clearwater Revival

·         Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

·         Donovan

·         Eagles

·         Emmylou Harris (what was said about Alison Krauss, above, applies here also . . . )

·         Enya (more New Age, also Celtic, but think about it . . . )

·         Gillian Welch

·         Gordon Lightfoot

·         Grateful Dead (think the American Beauty album, not necessarily Live Dead . . . )

·         Indigo Girls

·         J D Souther

·         Jackson Browne

·         James Taylor

·         Jennifer Warnes

·         Jewel

·         Jimmy Buffett (sort of . . . )

·         Joan Baez

·         John Denver

·         John Prine

·         Joni Mitchell

·         Judy Collins

·         Juice Newton (maybe more country than folk . . . )

·         Linda Ronstadt (some songs, at least . . . )

·         Lovin’ Spoonful

·         Mamas & The Papas

·         Melanie

·         Neil Young

·         Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

·         Norah Jones (uncategorizable, maybe jazzy, but still . . . )

·         Old Crow Medicine Show

·         Peter, Paul & Mary

·         Rosanne Cash (she's not really country, and she's so great every genre should try to claim her . . . )

·         Simon & Garfunkel

·         Turtles

·         Van Morrison (also uncategorizable, or maybe fits in tons of categories . . . )
