Mine is “Lovers in a Dangerous Time”

 

[Shenandoah]

Little Martha, by The Allman Brothers. Originally recorded with Berry Oakley's bass backing Duane Allman's sweet acoustic guitar licks. The bass was taken off of the version on the Eat a Peach album, but was left in on the box set version. Enjoy

Batdorf and Rodney- love this very acoustic number:

 

[Ozimoto]

Early Simon and Garfunkel albums had a lot of acoustic music on them. Several of my favorites are from the Sounds of Silence. I will lead off with this one.

 

[Ozimoto]

Here is another. Kathy's song.

And the last one. The instrumental "Anji."

Love Linda and The Eagles, but that is about as acoustic as a can of corn.

"Can of Corn" is also baseball slang. Per my friendly AI app:

"Can of corn" is a baseball term for a routine fly ball that is easy to catch and hit to an outfielder. The phrase may have originated in the late 19th or early 20th century when grocery clerks would use long sticks to reach canned goods on high shelves. The clerks would gently knock the cans down and catch them in their aprons, and some say the arc of the falling can inspired the term. The phrase may have also been used to describe something that is easy to accomplish.

The baseball term was not in my mind when the can of veggies came to mind. Maybe should have gone with can of lima beans.

Jefferson Airplane's Jorma Kaukonen - the very beautiful "Genesis":

Gotta love Jethro Tull playing Roland Kirk. I love This Was; haven’t listened to it in ages.

And now for something completely different, here are Dick and Mimi Farina. Mimi’s sister Joan Baez sang this, too.

The very acoustic Wendy Waldman:

 

[Monte]

 

[Ozimoto]

Al Pettaway is a finger style guitarist and his wife Amy White plays keyboards, mandolin, percussion and other instruments. Their repertoire includes a lot of Appalachian influenced acoustic music. Here is a sample.

One of those early classics:

[Bigboote]

Not folk by any stretch of the imagination, but totally acoustic. This is Seven Spires, a metal band that formed at Berklee College of Music. They're all classically trained, and the bass player even gets out a bow for this one.

 

[Kaizen]

Not sure this is a folk song. One of my favorite Bee Gee song.
