John Prine is one of many artists who pop up on Acousticity's Top 100 playlist this month.

Since 1992, GLT’s Acousticity has explored the world of “flexible folk,” with a distinctive mix of bluegrass, Celtic and songwriter music.

Acousticity comes to a close June 2. Host Bruce Bergethon has put together a retrospective of the show’s representative songs, including the “Top 20 Folk Songs of All Time,” as picked by Acousticity listeners in 2012 for the program’s 20th anniversary.

Like what you hear? Listen to GLT’s Acousticity Thursdays from 7 to 9 p.m., Sundays from 9 p.m. to 4 a.m. Monday morning, or streaming all day every day on WGLT.org.

You can also subscribe to the GLT Music Podcast to learn about up-and-coming artists of all kinds, and hear first-hand stories about the music from the folks that make it.
