Folk Contest Round 1 Match 6

Moving right along, this 6th matchup features a '90s duo that has been likened to Simon & Garfunkel against a traditional New England folk artist who began his career in the '60s. Here's the skinny:


Harrod and Funck - Live

A 90s equivalent of Simon & Garfunkel, they each had a unique style of songwriting that blended sweetly together. This is probably my favorite folk album ever, and "Lion Song" is a perfect folk tune.

vs.

Gordon Bok - A Tune for November

My pick is on YouTube, I saw it there. He is old school sea shanty New England type stuff pretty cool.
