9/10. Missed #9.
5/5 and some were just guesses.
I was never able to take folk music seriously because my other had gone to high school with the Smothers Brothers, and we had all their albums around the house when I was a kid.
2 out of 10.
8/10
"You got 10 out of 10. You're true "folk" folk!' Yeah! But #3 was a pure guess, and #9 was a real teaser. I almost selected "The Rooftop Singers" who had a hit later called "Walk Right In". The rest I knew, more or less.
6/10. Half of those songs aren't folk songs.
8/10 Sailin' along quite nicely.....and then blew it all on the last 2. Doh!
8/10
Not my specialty
Not my specialty
7/10 I've always liked Gordon Lightfoot. My favorite song of his is "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald," with its haunting lyrics that are enhanced by those steel riffs on the slide guitar.
8 of 10
