Also all the level two acts so far have been Yanks.

Is level 2 that the artists are from America?

Interesting observation, but not the clue that I'd intended.

The Level 2 Clue doesn't require any information outside of just listening to the songs themselves.

This isn't the right song and it doesn't really fit with the clue for this level either. It might in a few spots, but not as prominently as the songs I've picked.

so im guessing the record will be a folk record then

It's interesting that you say that. I don't consider the AOTM to be a folk record really at all, but the answer to riddle #6 is probably the most folk-y out of any of the songs so far.

Any thoughts about Riddle #6? it's not an American band (in response to @Joe Mac 's guess), and the song is a cover sung in French

 

[Colonel_Angus]

and the song is a cover sung in French

lol.

I am confident that we'd be stuck on that clue for weeks without this context.

It's also not sung by a French band. And it's a cover of a song written by a pretty famous American songwriter, though not a super famous song of theirs.
