The reason I asked this question, is that I have heard several of the so-called ''revered and respected'' folkies from this website and some of their recorded material (and without mentioning names nor would I) I personally was not impressed. But I was very impressed with Rick Fielding - no argument there.

I am interested in finding out if there are indeed other players on this site on par with Mr. Fielding's talents.

(As for the others that I did listen to, that everyone seems to revere), I have concluded that the standards here must be pretty low. Then again those standards may be dictated by the ears of non-musicians.
