Cover Artists
The easiest way to find songs recorded / performed by a particular artist is to enter the name of the artist (or group) in our Artist Search page.
Here are some of our favorite folk cover artists:
- Joan Baez
- Roy Bailey - we just lost this terrific English socialist singer. Heart-felt versions of many others' songs (Si Kahn, Richard Thompson, etc.)
- Bok, Muir & Trickett
- Johnny Cash - although a country artist, Cash covered many folk songs over the years
- Eva Cassidy - amazing covers of many folk classics. Died way too young
- Judy Collins
- Priscilla Herdman
- Kate Rusby - darling of the English folk scene
