in the folk category, I'll take Neil Young's second solo album: Everybody Knows this is Nowhere
The song played most off this record is Cinnamon Girl. My favourite track by a mile is Down By the River.
Wiki blurb:
Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere (1969) is
Neil Young's second solo album and his first with backing band
Crazy Horse. The album was produced by Neil Young and David Briggs and contains three of his most memorable songs: "
Cinnamon Girl", "
Down by the River", and "
Cowgirl in the Sand", all of which were written when Young had a 103 °F (39.5 °C)
fever. In 2003, the album was ranked number 208 on
Rolling Stone magazine's list of
the 500 greatest albums of all time.
