Wainwright, Loudon III Masterful songwriting, mostly known for his humorous classics like "Dead Skunk in the Middle of the Road," but capable of eerie, deep emotion too. Great fan site includes tourdates, discography, lyrics, and many features. Wainwright, Sloan A powerful, soulful vocalist reminiscent of Armitrading, and a stirring, intelligent songwriter reminiscent of no one. Waterbug site includes sounds and store. Walker, Jerry Jeff Yes, he wrote Mr. Bo Jangles - get over it. Lots more good rootsy/Americana stuff where that came from. Waters, Muddy Legendary bluesman and songwriter. Watson, Doc This All Music Guide site is an excellent resource for this seminal picker. Werner, Susan A consummate entertainer, when Werner brought her classical training to the intimate stages of folk clubs and coffeehouses it was a revelation. Warm, funny and vocally explosive folk-pop. Wheeler, Cheryl Folk's funniest performer and writer of some of the loveliest melodies and lovesongs. Wilcox, David A much-admired guitarist, velvety vocalist, and writer of heart-warming folk-pop songs. He briefly broke into the mass market but remains a folk-scene favorite. Williams, Dar One of the most original and best loved of today's songwriters. Nobody sounds anything like her - smart, funny, poetic, insistent. One of the best in any genre. Williams, Hank Idolized as the king of country music by the new generation of writers, though you can't hear him on the radio. Not much on the offical site either. Williams, Lucinda This is LW's official site. Williams, Robin & Linda Popular duo with an old timey feel, often featured on Prairie Home Companion. Wolf, Kate This late singer-songwriter remains well-beloved and remembered for her sentimental songs, including "Give Yourself to Love."
