Best Folk Songs of 2008...So Far

Thursday July 24, 2008
Kris Delmhorst Heavens Hold the Sun is one of the best new folk songsNow that we're more than halfway through the year, I've updated my list of the best folk songs of the year. Contrary to what some may think, folk songs aren't always the songs that were written long before you were born. Folk music is always growing, evolving, and progressing as we—"the folk"—grow, change, and progress. If you're looking for some of the old timey stuff, check out All About Old Time Music. But, if you're looking for something a little more updated, here's my list of the Best Folk Songs of 2008...So Far.

Is there a new folk songs you love, but you don't see on this list? Drop it in the comments.
