Death Vessel are one of the new interesting acts on the scene lately. Willy Mason has been making some good folk music, though his last album was really disappointing. M. Ward's hands are possessed by the spirit of Fahey, I'm sure of it. I could go on and on about M. Ward all day though..
howe gelb blah blah
As far as older folk influences go I have no idea. Sometimes you don't really need to listen to a lot of folk to make folk- M. Ward's favourite band is Sonic Youth.
