Check out the lists of artists on the left. They are listed according to where they are living now.

YOU WON’T LIKE THEM ALL. They don’t all correspond to my taste either, but if they maintain or enhance the folk/acoustic tradition, they are listed here.

Also, in my egalitarian style, the great and the good are listed cheek by jowl with club singers or even those who just made couch recordings for MySpace.

The comments under each artists name are usually taken from there page or web site. If I couldn’t find a suitable quote, I added some boring note of my own. The idea is to give you some idea of style.
