Neil Young has got bittersweet, melancholic, introspective qualities and feelings of loneliness, and a certain sentimentality (say with "Sugar Mountain") that permeate a lot of his work.

I especially love both of Neil Young's first two "solo," LP's, the eponymous first one (which really fits this bill, in my opinion) and "Everybody Knows This is Nowhere", where he introduced Crazy Horse.

^ Love those choices.
Nick Drake is what inspired me the most to make this topic. Five Leaves Left is one of my favourite albums, and I love "Cello Song". Songs like that, "Fruit Tree" and "River Man" suit this topic to a tee. Very nice Cat Stevens one. "Trouble" is my favourite of his. As for Neil Young, "The Needle and the Damage Done" is one of my favourite songs. Another classic: Tim Hardin's "Red Balloon" from 1967: Edited by Logan - March 08 2019 at 06:17 |

The first performer that popped into my head was Nick Drake...
Then Cat Stevens... And then Neil Young... |

Richard Thompson...2 obvious tracks 1. King Of Bohemia 2. Burns Supper How fragile, melancholic and gentle folk can you get? These two make me cry every time! Blubbering fool I am.

Love William D. Drake, and love that vid Raff. Sometimes when I'm taking a break from work, I like to prepare ridiculous polls and topics (sometimes I post them, usually I do not). I prepared a William D. Drake vs. Nick Drake vs. Drake the rapper poll.
While very different from the Vashti Bunyan "Winter is Blue", Nick Drake ("River Man" and "Fruit Tree" mood, which is not a complaint as I don't wish to limit to such stuff, I like that Luciano Cilio a lot. |

I'll second Bert Jansch's "Avocet" and add " A Hymn for Ancient Land" by Jim Ghedi.
I can't post YouTube videos at work but this is the album, it ticks all the boxes for you. Well, I reckon it does.

There's A Light That Enters Houses With No Other House In Sight may fit the bill, although calling it folky may be a stretch, it's surely more avantgarde - but certainly fragile and gentle.
