Michael Doucet Dit Beausoleil - I think this was Michael Doucet's first album with Beausoleil and may be his first album altogether. Just a bit rawer and bluesier than later records and all the better for it. I guess some folks would consider Doucet's brand of Cajun a bit homogenized compared to some of the earthier backwoods stuff, but I have always found the musicianship on the early Beausoleil and Savoy-Doucet records to be impeccable and very soulful.

I bet I'd find many new folk bands to like if I wasn't such a lazy bastard and would skim through this thread more closely (perhaps some day I will), but if someone could recommend some folk/folk rock bands or artists for someone like me - a relatively new folk lover. Something easy, something that won't scare me away. I prefer male vocalists with deep voice, though I'd be interested to get to know some female vocalists too, since so far I mostly listen to male vocalists (how many times can I use the word "vocalists" before I get repetitive?) Some YouTube links to songs you guys prefer would be appreciated. Thank you in advance

Township Jive & Kwela Jazz (1940-1960)

Picked this up on a recent trip to Amoeba. I remember having someone play some Township jive for me many years ago and really liking it. Bought this on a whim and I'm really digging it. Very infectious and spirited - Good get your butt moving in the morning music. Highly recommended.

Kristen Kelly is an awesome new country singer from Waco, Texas. Her whole EP is killer, but "He Loves to Make Me Cry" is absolutely beautiful.

Man, you weren't lying. Girl's got some pipes.

I've been enthralled with this song for a couple weeks.
