I started listening to folk music around 1960. My preferences in that area are mostly pre-WWII recordings. I like country music but not much after 1970. Taj Mahal has made some great recordings. In blues I do have some contemporary favorites. I think it counts as Americana considering the country of origin. Kim Wilson both vocals and harmonica. If you can find his recordings, R. J. Mischo harp and vocals, whom I've seen live many times. The late James Harman, wonderful on harp and a really fine song writer. Guitar players include Steve Freund, who played with Sunnyland Slim for a long time, Rusty Zinn, and the amazing 14 fingers of Kid Andersen who can play in any style including doing a faithful slide imitation without a slide. I've heard him do country blues, Oscar Moore, and you name it including his own original sounding stuff.
