I'm conflicted as to where to put this compilation. I made my friend a 10-tack mixtape, but it's a beginner's guide to folk and folk rock. I guess I'll stick it here.
Erik's Folk Mixtape
It has some of the folk and singer/songwriter power players, as well as some lesser-known indie-folk and folk-pop names that I quite enjoy. I wasn't sure what kind of folk he was looking for, so I tried to give the mix lots of variety. Hope he likes it.
