I'll have to update this later, as I can't believe there's no female artist on my mind (not a fan of Nico..)

You can't put Dylan on your list but not Guthrie or Seeger, that's just not fair or nice.
or right.

Upload your favorite Guthrie album for me catie.

It's just a collection but it's still good.

Conor Oberst (and Bright Eyes)
Iron & Wine
Kevin Drew
Feist
Alex Denham
Andrew Bird

Others notable (no exact order):
Woody Guthrie

Dustin Kensrue (and Thrice's "Air & Earth" EP contains some folkish songs)
J. Tilman (and Fleet Foxes)
Joanna Newsom (she has a strange childish voice though)
Great Lake Swimmers
Horse Feathers
and many many many more...
