Can't believe John Kirkpatrick only got one vote in this - somewhere between Mick Jagger and Elvis Presley but with a melodeon on the front - prowling onto the stage and leaping onto the first tune like a lithe, reckless leopard with a shout of "GO!"

(Don't anyone tell John Tams I've just demoted him)

Emmylou shines at any age and is still bright and beautiful. Joni in the late 60-s early 70's. Yes and Connie Dover now.

Chris Smither, definitely. It's the self-mocking sense of humor, the intelligence, the love of music

Rod Patterson looks as good as he sings (or at least he did several years back), and I'm surprised no one mentioned him. But looks aren't everything. Sometimes it's the way their hands move when they play that harp (or whatever)like they're making love to it. And if you're going to be strict on singers, definitely it's the ones who sing so that the feeling in the heart really comes out... I've seen musicians who didn't look like much transform completely when under the influence (of the music)... I think that's true whether the observer is male or female-- we mostly respond to something that's deeper than surface considerations--though they are definitely an asset.

Emmylou Harris is one of the sexiest people on the planet.

As other types of music and other eras have been introduced into the discussion, Amy Grant and Bonnie Raitt.

One of the very interesting things about each of those ladies and most singers of folk or country songs who also play guitar is their arms. Waifs cannot cut it. Great legs are nice. Great arms are nicer.

Paul Hoad from Suntrap.

not helped by his habit of introducing one of his songs by saying it was inspired by him cycling through the rain in London, wearing only a pair of cycling shorts!

that`s `not helped` in the sense of me being reduced to a quivering wreck!

I gather that the two lassies in said group - Mary and Sarah, are very popular with the blokes.

It must be a bit weird reading this and finding yourself named - certainly possible, all sorts of people read and post on this site.

I agree with sharyn. Chris Smither is a hottie--great smile, strong features; smart; very talented and easy on the eyes! A Killin' The Blues kinda guy.

men:
the late John Hartford
Leonard Cohen
...and, of course, Murray MacLeod! ¤;-D
 

for women (in addition to Emmylou, Joan, Tish, etc.:
Alison Krauss
and Marti Seidell (of The Dixie Chicks)  [ Even though the Chicks are commercial C/W artists, a lot of their stuff is pure bluegrass, BTW.]
 
 

And of the Mudcatters I've seen pictured, I'd say Carol C. (now "Carol The Sailor?") would be right up there.

PS., Someone mentioned above that the sexiest folks may be someone who's pretty much unknown.  My vote would be for a guy named Doug who lives in Seattle, plays 12-string and autoharp (both beautifully), is about 6'2" or so, sounds like Marty Robbins, does a lot of Kate Wolf songs, and is gorgeous.  I'd wager you folks probably know a few unknown folksingers in your local communities who'd also get lots of votes if they were more widely known.

I forgot to mention Leonard Cohen (but someone else did). I ushered for one of his concerts once, stood ten feet away from him. The man exudes presence. Otherwise same criteria as for Chris Smither: self-deprecating humor, intelligence.

In the same category: Richard Thompson

ALL the female folksingers are sexy, 'cos I'm trying something new.
    Diplomacy.
30 years ago, all the girls around were mooning over Sean Cannon.
    (It meant something different then.)
