I know that good singing and great lyrics are what draw all of us to folk music. But what about the poor benighted souls who want some sex appeal in their performers? Who can we point to and say, va va va voom, there is a sexy folk singer? Both male and female suggestions, please, and exactly what you find sexy about them. Keep it clean, though. I want my kids to be able to read this.

Well, Iris Dement has the most expressive eyebrows I've ever seen. She must be able to move them a full two inches up and down. Sings darn well, too.

Iris is great. Have you checked out Gillian Welch? She could go Iris toe to toe.

Since when is sexiness confined to females? I get turned on by Dick Gaughan. Oh, and do they have to sing? Alastair Frasier is pretty sexy, too.

No one said sexiness was confined to females except you. The original post said, "...male and female alike..."

Well, if it wasn't for The Bonny Irish Lass aka the FAIR ONE I'd have said that "sexy folksinger" was an oxymoron.

Although the same young lady said she liked the way Andy M Stewart wiggled his hips at the Blue Mountains Folk Festival at the weekend!

Cheers,

Sexiest folksinger? I thought that if a folksinger showed the slightest sign of sex appeal he or she was immediately boxed up and sent off to the nearest commercial studio. A conversation a friend and I had comparing the sex appeal of many of the performers at The Festival of Friends in Hamilton was pre-empted by the young man in the audience in front of us who stood up, removed his shorts, revealed his BRIGHT LIME GREEN nylon underwear, and put on a pair of trousers. I hope he was warmer for it, I know my friend and I were.

I know scads of women who swoon over Jeff Warner and Jeff Davis. It's the charisma. They must exude buckets of pheremones.

Karan Casey has a lot of appeal for men I know, and my husband just adores Ellen Cohn. :-)

I'll probably be branded as a weirdo for saying this, but what I find very attractive in a performer is his/her total immersion in the music. When they practically make love to the song...mmmm-mmmm. Physical attributes pale in comparison. So by example, Michael Ducet, when he is dancing with his fiddle, is pretty irresistable.

HANDS DOWN, for hetero males, would be JENNIFER KIMBALL, the lesser known half of the wonder-duo, "The Story". I sat close to the stage once, and was almost ready to leave my wife (kidding) after watching/hearing her. THE most sexy, heart-breaking 'break' in her voice I've ever heard/seen. She's super-bright and lovely to boot! Long live JK... Patty Larkin's cute/smart too, and she rips on an axe. For you women, check out Garnet Rogers. That is all... -Axe'

I think I just care more about the music. Dolores O'Riordan had it right when she used to play with her back to the audience. She wanted people to concentrate on the music, and not what SHE looked like. Anyone can look good, and I believe that the music and how much of yourself you put into it is more important that physical appearance. But hey, that's just me.

Someone should mention Kate Rusby, the sisters from the Corrs, Karen Casey formerly of Solas and - to show my age - Joni Mitchell's still got it.

I also have to agree with "Regis" about Lucy Kaplansky.

Yep, in 1973 I was captured by a wandering gang of Biker Women. I was first traded for a pair of custom valve covers. Later,through diligent effort on my part, my value had increased to the point where I brought a set of genuine leather saddlebags and a custom flame-painted tank. Contact the Evansville Indiana Chapter of "Cycle Harlots". They still say I was the best boytoy they ever had.
