Don’t forget our own curmudgeon who is a superb interpreter of the late great Guy Clark

Here’s another not of this moment but who was just such a great blues woman whose spirit lives on
I feel fortunate that I was able to see her before she died

Aoife O’Donovan I’ve tried to play this Balze Foley song so many times and haven’t been able to capture it’s essence She does it so well My brother introduced me to Blaze Foley - that is a cracking cover, as you say keeps its essence but very much her own.

Great thread, and a couple of wonderful new artists for me to explore. I'm particularly taken with Courtney Hartman and John Moreland. Both very good and right up my street. I will be doing some searching on those two.
Luckily for me Eric Taylor is still out there and producing the goods, but in the spirit of this thread I'll go for these three:
Donovan Woods:
Jeffrey Foucault:
Willie Tea Taylor:

Been listening to John Moreland all evening. Haven't heard anyone so good in a long time. Thanks, Geddarby!

Emily Portman, who has a firm understanding of the way folklore, story and plain primeval fear still penetrate modern human psychology.
Here's her timely New Year song, with a unique and vertiginous spin on the concept of "first footing." Don't fall.
Chris Wood. A folkie with the modal phrasing of a jazzer and the sensibility of a true poet.

Chris Wood. A folkie with the modal phrasing of a jazzer and the sensibility of a true poet. Ah, yes. One of my favourites. This song raises the hair on the back of my neck. He has written some fabulous songs, and his settings of some trad songs are totally spellbinding. I met him once. He is a very intense chap in conversation. Very different from his stage persona. Nice guy, though.

One of my favourite obscure songwriters (also a really great guitarist) is Annie Gallup.
I couldn't find a video of her actually performing this song, but I do love this:
Do check her out. Her albums are little works of songwriting perfection and her subject matter is eclectic. She is a real wordsmith, and many of her songs (though not this one) are incredibly funny.
