I'm sure you know about Simon and Garfunkel but if you only have a peripheral familiarity with them, definitely check out their live albums. I'll just give you amazing folk albums and see where it goes from there.

1. Gary Higgins - Red Hash
2. Richard Dawson - Nothing Important
3. Joni Mitchell - Count and Spark
4. Kath Bloom and Loren Connors - Restless Faithful Desparate
5. The Microphones - The Glow Part 2
6. Comus - First Utterance
7. Current 93 - All the Pretty Little Horses
8. Tim Buckley - Goodbye and Hello
9. John Fahey - The Transfiguration of Blind Joe Death
10. Sun City Girls - 330,003 Cross Dressers From Beyond the Rig Veda
