Nick's Mother edition

Hi /folk/, I bet everyone here has listened to Nick Drake, but have you listened to his mother's album, Molly Drake? It's pretty great, and just as melancholic as Nick's work. There is even a track called 'Poor Mum'.

Didn't Nick perform a version of 'Poor Mum' as well?

Tried House and Land after seeing them just rated on p4k. Not bad and only 30min long

Have you ever been disgusted by a post?

Are you sure you're not confusing it with poor boy?

OHHHHH THE FOLKY POLKY

I really like fleet foxes
Where did go from here?
Besides killing myself

CSNY, maybe?

I've only heard Mykonos and it sounded pretty CSNY-y (heh).

thats not folk lol

Folk is not an organic genre, it in fact originated in Irish and British music halls in the 1950s from music not unlike Molly's.

all music is folk music desu

revival folk yeah but this general is also for trad folk, it's for both! =)

Just found this recently, what do people think?

I think it's some pretty great music

Anyone ever listen to this band Fountainsun? Just discovered them, they had an album out a few years ago called Music Today, really strong stuff, psychadelic-ish.

Hey, I'm trying to compile a folk album
any recs?

>inb4 X isn't folk

folk in this case refers to both trad and revival, as well as all derivatives. Basically if you feel like it's folk, it's folk as far as I'm concerned

really beautiful but not folk, more /trad/
