Folk music often gets maligned in certain quarters for a variety of perceived flaws. Heck, even I have often made jokes about folk music (and musicians). :) So, in defense of folk music and all its variations, I offer you a mixtape of Billy Bragg (folk-punk, well sorta), John Prine (folk-country), and Ron Sexsmith (folk-pop/rock).
Update: Something messed up the last third of the cd when I initially burned it, so I got rid of the whole thing and replaced it. So if you downloaded it the first couple of days it was up, you should probably just delete it and download it again.

KFL,
Thanks a lot! (And I try to limit my begging to offline activities. :)
this is a gorgeous mix - thanks!
@Lisa,
They do sound pretty good together, don't they? I wasn't so sure about including Mr. Bragg, but I think he blended in quite nicely.
