The Carter Family are great, but I think of them as being more country than folk. I know the line blurs severely at a certain period and there is quite the convergence of hillbilly/folk/country/blues, but I still think of the Carters as a country thing.
Buffy St Marie, Fahey, Basho, 6 Organs, Stone Breath, Metzger, and many others in this discussion are Americans. I just think you were hoping to go a little further back, which is definitely a worthwhile place to go.
