Im gradually working my way through the smithsonian folkways catalogue (it may take some time!). Discovery of the week is Rev. Frederick Douglass Kirkpatrick. Very bluesy protest folk from the late 60s, with a great voice as well. The guy is a bit of a hero of the civil rights movement, setting up Deacons for Defence and Justice in 1964 to oppose the KKK in the south. Give it a go, the whole album is up on Spotify.
