From Kim Ruehl, your Guide to Folk Music
Okay, so not every list in this newsletter is a "Top 10," exactly. Some of these are "Top 5" lists, some are a little bit longer. But, regardless, lists are a great way of learning more about a specific area of music. Just make your way down the list and you're bound to find something you can sink your teeth into. From folk music for kids to the highlights of specific artists' careers, to great instrumentalists, and beyond. Here's a look at some of my favorite "favorites" lists.
