Tannywheeler best male folk singer? (218* d) RE: best male folk singer? 22 May 10

Wasn't gonna deal with this, but I'll try.
Just barely in my teens got to hear they young Liam Clancy live lots. What a clean, fine tenor. Still 1 of my faves. Leadbelly, Pete S. all felt to be faves at times. Ed McCurdy for a bit. Later in life ran into lots I liked. John Hartford, Danny Barnes, Steve Earle. There's a singer-songwriter in the Austin area named John Clay: he has a non-vibrato tone that makes you pay attention.
