Wow! In my favourites already. How are you going to avoid copyright problems?

Dang, there's ALSO links in there to the artist's Amazon page and, as you must know, Amazon often has SOUND CLIPS! :~)

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.

Anyhow,

Q: What IS Folk?

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.
