Maybe more blues and maybe 1930s/40s but he inspired the folk singers of the 60s. Also Woody Guthrie ofc, but that's a given

anyone else enjoy old blues like robert johnson, blind lemon jefferson, leadbelly, charley patton etc or is it just me ??? simple yet sad lyrics, just a dude busking thru the terrible Deep South during the Jim Crow Era trying to make a name for themself…like delta blues style guitar always captivated me i wonder if it could be incorporated into modern music…i hope i can try to one day

Smithsonian Folkways compilation of Lead Belly recordings is so exceedingly long but I started listening to it and I will not quit.

The all-time greatest American folk singer to ever live. All of his music has a distinctly wistful and familiar sound to it, like he's right there with you in all the shit. Also, he was a liberal before being a liberal was cool and I can't help but respect a man who writes a song called "Tear the Fascists Down".

noticing life and slowing things down has helped with every stress my body has, it's also got me going on walks to places i've never been before. I go alone and do walkie talkies sometimes too, which is like an audio journal log. i also get some cool pictures out of it.

waking up at 7am today has been a painfully dreadful existence, and i've only been awake for 52 minutes. How do people do this?
