Not too sure about similar artists, maybe look into some Doc Watson, or Leonard Cohen. I was gonna say maybe Slim Whitman, but he's a yodeler, or Boxcar Willie, but he's more country than folk. At any rate, thanks for bringing him up. A nice little slice of Americana.
Thank you for the reply. I hope you enjoy his music, and thanks for the suggestions.
