Comment:

If you think the most important part of the folk music story lies in the past, check out today's fastest-rising folk artists and have your head turned right around. The finely wrought melodies and thoughtful lyrics that have always been part of the folk world stand out as strong as ever in the songs of its hottest modern torchbearers. The strands of so many other styles find their way into today's folk sounds that it can be tough to keep track, so here's where you can hone in on the latest developments. From the explosive acoustic energy of England’s Mumford & Sons (“Little Lion Man”) to the sublime vocal tapestries of Seattle-based Fleet Foxes (“Helplessness Blues”), from Abigail Washburn to William Fitzsimmons, this is the place to put your finger on the pulse of folk as it's heard in the here-and-now.
