Looking for advice - Frederik - 27-08-2010
Hi there!
I just started getting a bit into the folk-scene. I've been listening to some old albums I found in my fathers basement, with Crosby, Stills & Nash. I would really like some recommendations.
I really like "Wooden Ships", a little bit bluesy and not TOO country. Anyone, track/artist-suggestions...
Thanks in advance!

EDIT: I forgot to say that I enjoy listening to Buffalo Springfield too, but I don't know if thats really folk...
