Bob Dylan is often considered the best folk singer. Many of his songs are stories, so it's clear why people would think that. A lot of his music reflects on society and current events. He made an album called "The Times They Are a-Changin'", which sums up some of his feelings about certain events in America at the time. Woody Guthrie is another folk singer who has often been regarded as one of the best. He wrote many songs about working conditions and racism, which made him popular in his time. One song he wrote was "Pretty Boy Floyd", which was about a criminal that got away with murder in Oklahoma in 1933 before finally getting shot by police in 1934. He sang at rallies for workers' rights and against Hitler, even though he himself was not Jewish (it's important to note that this article does not support Woody Guthrie's political views).
