Your top 3 pretty folk songs

John_Brainlove [Edit] [Delete] 21:31, 2 February '09

Songs that are so fresh and beautiful that they might have blown in on a breeze, or so creaky and powerful they might have grown out the earth like an oak tree. Songs that sound like they've come from somewhere you've never been, but very human too.

Is that a clear enough brief for you, DiSers? :)

Mine:

1. Joanna Newsom - Emily
2. Ölóf Arnálds - Klara http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7IT_m_ImzY
3. Skip James - Hardtime Killing Floor Blues

Have a look at that Ölóf song. Just beautiful.
