Thread Name: First Folk Song(s) You Heard
Subject: RE: First Folk Song(s) You Heard
Aside from childhood songs and lullabies, the first folk music I heard was the record "The Weavers at Carnegie Hall" and the second record I listened to was Pete Seeger's "Darling Corey". I had heard occasional country-folk songs, eg. Jimmie Rodgers and The Carter Family earlier, though. In retrospect, a great introduction to folk music.
