Originally posted by sonhouseMight I add Leonard Cohen - who is #1 with me - Buffy Saint Marie, Bruce Cockburn and, although he may qualify more as a rocker, Jesse Winchester.
High on the list for me: Stan Rogers, Gordon Lightfoot, Ian and Sylvia and Joni Mitchell. Anyone else of that stature?

BTW, have you heard Cockburn's Mosambique? A chilling song.

Originally posted by sonhouseSorry. Should have said has. I simply hadn't heard her in a long time. I'll have to check that song out. Thanks

Originally posted by darvlayFunny enough, John Lennon cited Anne Murray's cover of "You Won't See Me" as his favourite Beatles cover ever, and Elvis thought she was tops...according to Wikipedia, anyway.
I'm just happy neither of you said Anne Murray.
This begs the question: did Elvis bang Anne Murray?

Madeleine Peyroux.
Er... not folk but a great singer anyways!
