Rock Troubadours

Alongside classic folk and rock storytellers, like Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, and Tom Waits, this playlist showcases a few of the overlooked contemporary singers who are fighting the good fight, including punk-folk-inspired guys like Frank Turner, Chuck Ragan, and Jim Lockey. There are also new, and deceptively brilliant, crossover stars like Jason Isbell and the rising Lucero.
