Thread: country-folk blues

I've been getting into old folk and country music lately and was wondering if anyone can reccommend some country or folk influenced blues artists. I'm looking for stuff like the allman bros, flying burrito brothers, and little feat.

You're going to have to specify a bit more.

Country Blues would be stuff like Big Bill Broonzy, Mississippi John Hurt, Skip James, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Lonnie Johnson, Blind Willie McTell, John Lee Hooker, and Leadbelly, to name just a few. Even Robert Johnson, Charley Patton, and Memphis Minnie, if you're looking for Pre-War stuff.

Folk-Blues would be things along the lines of Leadbelly (he's a bit of a cross-over), Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee, Josh White, or Jessie Fuller.

On the OTHER hand if you're looking for rock groups, which I think is what you really meant, that show a distinct country and folk influence as well as the blues, you might want to check out Buffalo Springfield, The Byrds, CSN(Y), Bob Dylan, The Eagles, The Everly Brothers, Fairport Convention, Jefferson Airplane, Canned Heat, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, or the Turtles.

I'm afraid that I can't quite grasp what you are saying in this post.
To be honest, most of the descriptions you've given to the bands and artists you've mentioned are wrong for a start!

I'm also confused because Earth... seems to answer their own question?

Your almost expecting a link or some ad, but there isn't

There actually was a link (in the signature) to some lesbian porn site, which I've removed completely.

Do you know any news about Garth Brooks, Alan Jackson? I like the song If tomorrow never comes by Garth Brooks.

I think your right in the hunch........this is a SPAM which has been done by someone whose English is good but has no idea what we are about......they are common on websites which are for advertising and attract traffic ......we are an odd exception but we do show up as having traffic so that might be how they found us and the rest is then uneducated guesswork from them to get a trojan into our sight to get paying traffic to their site
