mcs posted this in the "Music made / performed by your parents" thread:

"The songs are excellent but the whole style sounds pretty dated. Think A Mighty Wind. "

And that got me thinking: I quite unironically loved the Mitch & Mickey numbers in A Mighty Wind. What non-fictional acts of yore should I be checking?

by "non-fictional" you mean "fictional", right?

I think he's asking what real-life 60's folk acts Mitch & Mickey were based on.

Weren't they based on Richard & Mimi Farina?

Ian and Sylvia Tyson, I thought...

"I think he's asking what real-life 60's folk acts Mitch & Mickey were based on."

Yes. I guess I should have made that more obvious.

I know nothing about folk, so I'm probably wrong about the Farina thing. I don't know why I posted on here.

In case you're unfamiliar with her, you'd definitely like early Francoise Hardy (62-68ish).
