Fragile, melancholic, or gentle folk music

I was just going to suggest that, glad you know it (The Use of Ashes).  I really love Bert Jansch's "Avocet," if you're unfamiliar and pretty much everything that John Renbourn did solo and with configurations of The Pentangle, but you probably already know those as well.  I will probably come up with more, as the coffee kicks in.    I like singer/songwriter/folk/renaissancy stuff too.

	Thanks, I don't know the majority of those. I have heard The Use of Ashes, but it's been far too long. Other than that I only readily recall Ptarmigan and Trader Horne (a couple of others, like Tir Na Nog, look rather familiar, but my memory is not what it once was.)

	I'd say the wonderful The Use of Ashes by Pearls Before Swine qualifies but I'm guessing you're already familiar with it? More you probably got (and possibly a few you don't). Some here has a couple of unfitting tunes that ruins the mood somehow - but mostly not: Sibylle Baier - Color Green Arleta - Exi Meres Tia Blake - Folksongs & Ballads Reet Hendrikson - Reet Ptarmigan - Ptarmigan Trader Horne - Morning Way Turid - Bilder (mostly quiet) Tir Na Nog - Tir Na Nog Paula Moore - Paula Moore (the one from 1978) Molly Drake - Molly Drake (Nick's mother) Larry And Myra - Eat The Day Kathy & Carol - Kathy & Carol Josephine Foster - Faithful Fairy Harmony (and more) Gary Higgins - Red Hash Dulcimer - And I Turned As I Had As a Boy

	Hi, I'm looking for recommendations of music that might be considered melancholy, shows a certain fragility or a certain gentleness. I'm being too vague, but here are some examples. Vashti Bunyan - "Winter is Blue" Nick Drake - "River Man" Lind Perhacs - Parallelograms Hush - "Dear One" Anything in the vein of any of that would be much appreciated (I know that would cover a huge amount of music, but mention some that touch you in some appropriate fashion).
