Folk Music CD Swap

Can it also contain traditional folk song genres, like British or Irish folk?Or would you prefer singer-songwriter emphasis for this one?

I second the comment above, want to know before I join this swap...

Feel free to include a wide variety of folk music, including British and Irish folk. I used the examples I did only so that people would understand that I meant folk music for adults, and not folk songs like children would sing in elementary school. I think it would be great to be introduced to some non-mainstream folk artists, in addition to the more well known ones.

I would love to join this swap, with an emphasis on more traditional folk... Not having much in the way of singer/somgwriter in my collection...

Fivegallonbucket, feel free to create a mix with more traditional folk. That sounds great.

Done burned it! Good stuff. I like to make cds that I can also enjoy in my car. :0)

I'm finding the process much harder than I had anticipated. There is no real consensus on what folk music is, is there? I mean I see Norah Jones, The Decemberists, and The Shins listed in the folk genre?? I'm having fun combing through the collected music of DH and I though. I'm finding I have a huge emphasis on female folk singers and not much on the males. Ooops! :-)

I find this area of music a grey area too. I hosted The Folk Show at my radio station for two years and included Norwegian and some country music as well. Artists like Cat Stevens and Joni Mitchell, who topped the rock charts, always sounded Folk to me. As long as this is ok, I'm in. :)

My breed of folk music would make you SCREAM, chickpea! My favorite folk singer is a leftist folk singer who likes to sing about controversial topics and hard-hitting issues...like Palestine, the bombing of Lebanon, and gang violence.

Probably better for me not to join! I don't want to freak my partner out.

Suzanne! Join! And then I hope you send to me! :0)

I have a lot songs from of folk-y new artist from the New England area. I can't wait to share their beautiful music!

Partners are assigned, everybody! Happy swapping!

My CDs are burned and ready to go out to Melissa and Giancarlo tomorrow.

Aargh! The addresses were assigned in the middle of moving house! Now I can't find the things! I will have to look at my list and do it all over again... Not to worry- just registering my frustration... B

On my way to the post office now

Let me know if you host another. I'd love to sign up.
