New to Folk and Blue Grass...Mumford and Sons - JaredN - 01-02-2012
Hi all, I have never really listened to folk or bluegrass in the past but recently I got hooked on Mumford and Sons album Sigh no More. I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions of other good groups in this genre that I might like. Thanks

Liam Finn...son of Neil Finn(split enz/crowded house)....check out my beginners guide to "Neil and Tim Finn Solo Years" as i have covered both of Liam's solo albums in that with links to most tracks!
for more "original folk/bluegrass" artists try:
Ernest Tubb
Bill Monroe
they are good starting points to know where the "genre" came from IMO

Check out Johnny Flynn

Yes check out Johnny Flynn and Avett Brothers(excellent)... The Kennedys (Maura and Peter Kennedy),Laura Marling and Joanna Newsom in folk for starters....also for bluegrass check out Flatt & Scruggs, Del McCoury, Jim Lauderdale, Alison Krauss and Union Station !
Have fun listening, Jared and welcome aboard MD !

I think "High Country Snows" from Dan Fogleberg is an excellent one.

First of all i wouldn't call Mumford & Sons folk or bluegrass. They are usually considered blues. Having said that if you like Mumford and Sons, check out Hillstomp
