Joan Baez - "Joe Hill"
This one was about a labor protester thought to have been shot dead by police, but who actually survived and surprisingly re-emerged ten years after he was believed to have died.

"Last Christmas" wasn't bad...either the song or the actual, literal last Christmas.
This Christmas, though...bleh.
John Denver - "Country Roads, Take Me Home"
Everybody knows *this* song.
If there's a common theme in many of these folk songs, it seems to be getting in trouble with the law.
But these songs take the view that the law is often the real bad guy, and the "criminal" is the actual protagonist.
The Bobby Fuller Four - "I Fought The Law"
This one was actually a rock 'n roll song, but it told a story the same way a folk song would.
98% of my stuff is legit and legal. It's not because I'm such a saint, but it's because the illegal stuff is often of dodgy quality, and I'm such an audiophile that I require everything to be of *perfect* sound quality.
I only rely on bootlegs when stuff simply isn't available commercially (in which case it's the copyright holders' own fault for not making it available for sale).
Bruce Springsteen - "Hungry Heart"
Definitely back in more rock territory now, although keeping with the folk tradition of telling a story.
LOL, you must have legit - you live in the US - the RIAA there is active, not like at my place - no one do anything effective - LOL
