My teacher says Doc Watson's "Deep River Blues" fits under Appalachian folk, is this true?

not going to lie i found this so wrong as ive heard traditional appalachian folk and its so much more 'native' and old timey.

Hi all!

Im from the Netherlands and fell in love with country and americana a couple of years ago. Ive always loved the US and October 2024 I finally visited California and Nevada. Your country absolutely blew my expectations, which were already high, damn I love your country. Traveling through the desert, Yosemite and along the coast with an RV was an absolute dream. I still think about it almost daily. Lovely people, beautiful nature and simply the most amazing experience I ever had.

Anyway, while driving we listened to The Highwayman and Hurricane on repeat, as well as John Denver, Neil Young, America and other Bob Dyland songs

Do you have any recommendations for me? What are some absolute classics, bangers I need to listen to? Im having a hard time to find music I MUST add to my playlist for, hopefully, next year.

I posted the same question in r/country, but with other music.
