Folkies III

Even though folk music may not be at the top of my listening queue, it’s good to know there are still folk artists out there singing about things that matter- truth, justice, compassion, joy, love, sorrow, history, freedom, common sense, and God’s commandments to love one another and respect His creation- not to mention the dangers of alcohol. Here are some more of my favorite folk songs including Celtic folk, British folk, traditional folk, political folk & protest songs, folk revival, folk pop, and Americana. Enjoy!
