Folk Songs!

in Wedding Ceremony & Reception Music Discussions
So the musicians I'm looking at typically play old folk songs/hymns... so I'm looking for some creative folk, bluegrass, or "old country" (think Johnny Cash, Merle Haggerd) songs that can serve as First Dance, Father Daughter Dance, etc.

Hymns are totally do-able becuase everyone in attendance enjoys them. :)

Any suggestions?

    I totally forgot about the O Brother Where Art Thou soundtrack!!!

    i was kind of thinking of having "I'll Fly Away" being the last song. :)

    I sort of want our first dance to be to You Are My Sunshine, but I'm not entirely set on it yet... and it has to get past the FI first, haha. Thanks for the suggestions, keep 'em comin!

    haha thats funny im doing the same at my wedding. Bluegrass is awesome

    honestly if you go to youtube and search for "banjo wedding march' i thought that was the coolest thing yet. brother where art tho is good, bill monroe is amazing. so is ricky skaggs, he has one called 'cajun moon' thats cute and upbeat. 

    ummm.. tennessee earnie ford does alot of bluegrass gospel. also you have roseanne cash with 'Tennessee flat top box' which is a classic to sing along to. and a good one for a mother/daughter type dance if u do one of those is dolly parton's 'coat of many colors' .. 

    roy acuff is great. also look into june carter or 'the carter' family. they were a famous group for doing good gospel and bluegrass songs.
