/folk/ rules
Welcome to /folk/! Here's the few rules in place at the moment.
1. Posts should be about folk music, its derivatives, the artists, songs, or whatever strange turn the threads may take. Intentionally derailing a thread isn't allowed.
2. Spoiler NSFW files.
Guidelines:
1. YouTube embeds are allowed, but WebMs are encouraged. If we ever get sound file (FLAC, MP3, etc) embeds, those would be even better.
2. While bumping a thread is allowed, it'd be better if you actually contributed something to the thread.

Traditional Folk Music of New England
Hey /folk/, I have been looking for traditional folk music of New England and the Northeast and general.
Does it even really exist? And also, sea shanties don't count.
First.
I wonder how many pre-existing voicefags we'll, have, but the nice part about folk music is that anyone can sing it.

What do you guys think about the folk music in the sixties? I love it myself, this is one of my favorites and Dave Van Ronk is pretty underrated in my opinion.

Jean Ritchie thread
Jean Ritchie (December 8, 1922 – June 1, 2015) was an American folk singer and Appalachian dulcimer player. Became known as “The Mother of Folk”. As well as work songs and ballads, Jean knew hymns from the “Regular Baptist” church she attended in Jeff, Kentucky. These were sung as “lining out” songs, in a lingering soulful way. One of the songs they sang was Amazing Grace. She wrote some songs, including one on the effects of strip mining in Kentucky. (Some of Ritchie's late 1950s/early 1960s songs on mining she published under the pseudonym "'Than Hall" to avoid troubling her non-political mother, and believing they might be better received if attributed to a man.)
How does /folk/ feel about Sycamore Smith?
Hey everybody. I love that there is finally a board for this. We'll be small, but the music here will be quality. I know some other boards are into this kind of music too (/pol/ especially)
I'll post some European folk songs.
This is the Song of the Red War Boat. It is a poem by Rudyard Kipling, and put to music and sang by Peter Bellamy. I love the tune and the lyrics.

>there are men of over 90 who have never yet heard The Dubliners

Not sure if this is quite what we're looking for, but its always been a song that's meant alot to me.
