There's almost no folk. Does 'lyrics' mean almost totally pop and rock? Waylon Jennings was the closest I saw in a brief visit. Yet you found Mudcat to post a notice? strange...

Alison Krauss is in there, and I found some gospel songs already.

No Red Clay Ramblers, no New Lost City Ramblers, no Grandpa Jones, no Mississippi John Hurt, no Homer & Jethro -- I don't see any point in continuing to look.
