I hope you will enjoy this compilation with the best melancholik folk that I assembled piece by piece in the last few months. I started collecting in one single place a number of songs that I picked up while listening and selecting to the new music releases, to which I then added other favorite tracks coming from the past.

You’ll find here different styles of folk, from pure celtic ballads to american folk. All the songs, however, are united by that melancholy tone that is in fact the driving element of the whole playlist. There are famous artists such as The Corrs, Rhiannon Giddens with the Kronos and The Unthanks, and also less famous – but no less valid – folk artists.

Launch this playlist on a rainy night or in a moment of relative peace and quiet, and let yourself be carried away by the celtic ballads and all the engaging stories which are narrated by these wonderful songs. Like all the playlists presented by this blog, this is a dynamic collections which is always updated with new songs Therefore, do not forget to follow the playlist and return periodically to listen to other breathtaking and tearful songs.
