im looking for folk recommendations for shit that sound like Simong and Garfunkel.
pat, why you gotta bust paul simong?... curious why nobody mentioned these.
here's a song i recorded back in 1998, that my rommate came up with the words for/sang on one night when we were both really depressed. despite the super lo-fi, it's probably still my favorite song i wrote. http://s24.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=12XWZK3MUKU972HHG1JRJWSWIT
Joan Baez, self-titled, Vanguard, 1960 Tim Buckley, Blue Afternoon Tim Buckley, Star Sailor John Fahey on Tokoma Robbie Basho on Tokoma Linda Perachs, Parralellograms, Kapp The Pentangle Skip Spence, Oar Terry Callier on Prestige, Cadet Eric Anderson, Vanguard lp's Harry Smith field recordings Folkways Laura Nyro on Columbia Michele, Saturn Rings, ABC Jan and Lorraine, ABC Bert Janus on Vanguard, Transatlantic Dino Valenti, Epic Marj Snyder ( first three lp's ) Bobby Brown ( tan cover ), private label Karen Dalton on Capitol, Just Sunshine Richard and Mimi Farina Montreal on Stormy Forest Fred Neil on Elektra, Capitol Lilly and Maria on Columbia Jake Holmes on Tower Chuck and Mary Perrin, private label Arthur, LHI Eve, LHI Mardell, The Mystery of Love, private label Center Family, Shanti Om, private label Eric and Carylon Harvey, private label Karen Beth, The Joys of Life, Decca Peter Walker, Vanguard Judy Collins ( early lp's on Elektra ) Mississippi John Hurt, Vanguard recordings David Crosby, If only I could remember my name, Atlantic KC Humphrey, private label Foley and Cavanaugh, private label Simon and Garfunkel Tina and Davis Metzler, Poet Song, Vanguard Hedi West on Vanguard Sandy Bull, No Deposit No Return, Vanguard Lou Bond on We Produce Joni Mitchell ( first four lp's ) Warner Brothers Neil Young Donovan on Epic Richie Havens Extradition, Hush, Private label ( Austrialia )
Tom Smith- still lifes Dave Fritz- city and tree Larry Conklin/Jochen Blum- Jackdaw Collie Ryan- all 3 lp's Muriel Anderson- just begun Billy Faier- banjo (on takoma) George Cromarty- grassroots guitar Bob Hadley- raven Kathy Smith on stormy forest label Linda Cohen- leda on poppy Linda Rich- patterns and theres more to living than I know so far Gilberto Martinez- s/t Moro- moonset Jim Ohlschmidt- behind the eye Daniel Hecht- (anything) Peter Lang.... and on and on
Poor Richard - A Place of the Sun (Kazoo) Steve Noonan - S/T (Elektra) Diane Hildebrand - Early Morning Blues & Greens (Elektra) Pat Kilroy - Light of Day (Elektra) Silmaril - Given Time, the Many Roads (Private release) Tim Buckley - Happy Sad (Elektra) Tim Buckley - Goodbye and Hello (Elektra) Caroline Peyton - Mock Up (Private release) Tucker Zimmerman - Songpoet (Autogram) Michael Chapman - Fully Qualified Survivor (Harvest) Michael Chapman - Wrecked Again (Harvest) Morganmasondowns - S/T (Roulette) Ruthann Friedman - Constant Companion (Reprise) Express Rising LP (Memphix)
as far as stuff that sounds like simon and garfunkel, have you heard this record? If I Knew You Were the One
if we're just talking random folk reccomendations...
both bill fay albums (hard to find OGs, but both and reissued on CD) vashti bunyan - another diamond day (again, impossible to find. buy the CD) elizabeth cotton anything jonh fahey has touched
i need more tim buckley in my life. all i have is starsailor
This too is VERY important. Buy them all.[/b] (except greetings from LA--even though Carfagna will argue that there is at least one redeeming trait on this album, just because, you know, it's Tim Buckley, and he's the motherfucking dude )
Lorca, Blue Afternoon, Goodbye Hello, Happy Sad, S/T are all so necessary.
It would help if I could look at my bookshelf cause I can't remember anything...
For modern stuff I like Lau Nau Jack Rose (exactly like Fahey) Apothocary Hymns
Old stuff I didn't see mentioned already Joan Baez - One Day at a Time (the best by far) Arthur - Love is the Revolution (not all fey like the first one) Both Kathy Smith LPs Denny Guy Jamie Brockett - 2
Ruthann Friedman is definitely the best one I've heard in the last year.

vashti bunyan - another diamond day (again, impossible to find. buy the CD)
elizabeth cotton
anything jonh fahey has touched
i have an extra. holla.
this album is fucking amazing. i carved pumpkins to this shit last halloween. you have an OG?
TheMack, check your pms.
Indeed.
"The Herald" & "In the Lost Queen's Eyes" are wig-blowing.
I sampled this not long ago (i am no beatmaker or producer, but like to play around sometimes)
This too is VERY important. Buy them all.[/b] (except greetings from LA--even though Carfagna will argue that there is at least one redeeming trait on this album, just because, you know, it's Tim Buckley, and he's the motherfucking dude
Lorca, Blue Afternoon, Goodbye Hello, Happy Sad, S/T are all so necessary.
you're down with "look at the fool" and "sefronia" even??
"greetings from l.a." was his "funk" album. and you get a postal-unfriendly postcard to boot.
having "starsailor" as your only buckley is like collecting backwards or something.
For modern stuff I like
Lau Nau
Jack Rose (exactly like Fahey)
Apothocary Hymns
Old stuff I didn't see mentioned already
Joan Baez - One Day at a Time (the best by far)
