Bump, I need more folk in my life.
I'm lightweight in love with Shakey Graves. Busisness Lunch and I'm on Fire are both beautiful.

No clue what his biography entails, but listen to this fellas:

can anyone recommend some good songs to start learning the whole 2 finger folk style walking bass line thing on guitar? I'm trying to pick it up but i don't know any of these artists or where to start

Elephant Revival - Go On

William Tyler is a nice fresh take on earlier "American Primitive" folk music. Similar style to Basho.

I really like that a lot. I'm gonna have to check out more of his stuff.

There seems to be somewhat of a revival of this sort of music recently. Young guitarists following in the footsteps of the pioneers before them, Basho, Fahey, Kottke etc. And even in the more raga styled folk like that of Peter Walker (who recently released an old tape from 1970 titled, "Has Anybody Seen Our Freedoms?" which is really worth a listen. I'd not heard anything like it before.)

I stumbled across this fantastic blog which is rich in modern psych-folk, primitive acoustic etc. I'm sure it will interest some of you.

The mixtapes are a good place to start if you're on a quest for some new stuff, they're free to download too.
