Raffi
Canadian songwriter and performer Raffi Cavoukian is maybe the world's most beloved children's musician. If "Baby Beluga" is not a folksong, nothing is. Raitt, Bonnie
Raitt made the charts with a number of pop singles but her roots and her heart are still solidly in blues and folk. Site includes sound clips and tour schedule.
Reagon, Toshi
Her most recent album features pop-sounding love ballads and even a thrash song. The politics are still there, however. Red Clay Ramblers
Official Site for the current, Grammy Award-Winning incarnation of the group. Red Clay Ramblers
A fansite for the legendary band. Reid, Drew
Well traveled Florida artist. Collaborated with Shel Silverstein. Reid, Harvey
This extraordinarily versatile string musician from Maine plays traditional and traditionally based music and is an excellent songwriter too. His recordings have a pristine, audiophile quality. Reynolds, Malvina
Reynolds is old school folkie protest - author of "Little Boxes" and "Turn Around." Not much on the net, but this page has useful links/info. Robeson, Paul Best of the Net
Robeson achieved immortality for his rich baritone singing and radical political idealism. He was a mainstay of the early folk revival of the 50s. This excellent page of info and links is fit for a scholar! Robinson, Dana
Contemporary songwriter with deep traditional and old-timey roots. Rogers, Garnet
Brother of Stan, Garnet has the same great baritone voice plus virtuosity on the guitar. He's a popular performer on the Canadian/U.S. circuit. Rogers, Sally
A wonderful singer of traditional songs, Sally is now mainly a young children's performer focusing on "educational" music. Rogers, Stan
The Bard of the great Northwest. Unlike cultural expatriates like Mitchell, Cohen, Rush, and Lightfoot, Rogers is pure Canada. His new homepage includes an extensive collection of lyrics and videos. Ross, Don
Toronto-based Don Ross is a world class guitarist and composer, combining Celtic roots and a sensibility that veers between classical and rock. Rusby, Kate
A young, startlingly refreshing English phenom. Rusby is a sensational singer with a rare connection to the spirit of the old traditional songs. Rush, Tom
A central folk performer since the sixties, blending traditional folk and blues sensibility with a contemporary outlook. First artist to record Joni Mitchell's work. Russell, Tom
Hailing from Brooklyn, NY, Russell's Tex-Mex sound is authentic, his amazing story songs really stretch the genre. A mainstay on the European circuit. Rusted Root
A real phenomenon. Eclectic folk-roots group creates a potent mixture of Latin, African, Eastern, Soul, Rock, and traditional American music. Excellent site with extensive lyrics and full-length RealAudio clips.
