There's no one exactly like VM. For blues/folk influences, check out Ry Cooder. Also The Band. If you like that look into Doug Sahm. For British Folk try Fairport Convention, Sandy Denny, Bert Jansch and Pentangle, Traffic's John Barleycorn Must Die.

That's how strange/unique Van Morrison is. I have literally never heard of anybody you list except The Band

I realy don't know that much about the British folk movement. The previously mentioned John Martyn is unknown to me aside from his name.

Fairport Convention was the outstanding UK folk rock group, w/ female vocalist Sandy Denny and guitarist Richard Thompson (who I forgot to mention in my original post)

Fairport Convention ~ "Meet On The Ledge"

Fairport Convention - "Who knows where the time goes"

Pentangle - "Once I had a sweetheart" -- cover of an old British folk song, as is:

Traffic - "John Barleycorn Must Die"
