That's a good intro you've got there, so you can start by listening to more by the same artists: Simon & Garfunkel, Cat Stevens, Jim Croce, Neil Young, Creedence.

A few more to add: big hits by these artists: Linda Ronstadt, Crosby Stills & Nash, Buffalo Springfield, James Taylor, Joan Baez, The Byrds, The Eagles, early Joni Mitchell.

Grateful Dead also have deep roots in folk music; really shines thru in the Workingman's Dead album; also American Beauty.

Then there's Bob Dylan; a force to be reckoned with. He brought so much to folk rock. Doesn't have the sweetest voice, so you might like covers of his songs, but check this out:

Robyn Hitchcock is the folkrockingest fellow I've come across.
He is often seen in interesting and vibrant shirts and once he drew an infinity symbol in my notebook.
