| | Singer-songwriter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Singers and bands performing material by separate, professional songwriters were the standard in popular music until about the 1960s when the influence of folk music introduced singer-songwriters to a wider audience. | | | In contrast to the storytelling approach of most prior country and folk music, these performers typically wrote songs from a highly personal (often first-person), introspective point of view. | | | 1 Distinguishing singers from songwriters and vice versa |

| | The recording is Folk Singer, recorded in September 1963 and released in 1964. | | | Beyond the title, Folk Singer shares little resemblance with folk music, however; it is purely acoustic blues. | | | Folk Singer is best described as an "unplugged" blues recording, with outstanding presence and sound quality for its age. |

| | Mailer - acoustic, folk, singer-songwriter |
| | This Stacey's second album has much to live up to; her debut album 'Simple Gearle' was one of the best-received albums of last year. | | | The one constant is his expressive vocals and razor sharp lyrics; they fuse together with the mainly acoustic songs to create musically dynamic tracks with intelligent lyrics. | | | He is a superb guitar player, and his rhythmic playing and vocal delivery drive many of the tracks on the album (to the extent that some songs have no drums or percussion, and you barely notice they're missing). |

| | Folk - Epitonic.com: Hi Quality Free and Legal MP3 Music |
| | Traditional folk music is a culturally specific, regional music made by the "folk," for the "folk," using acoustic (usually stringed) instrumentation; in short an inherently populist medium, often with quite specific political agendas, that deals with identity and history through storytelling. | | | These artists radically expanded America's conception of what "folk music" meant, proving both that folk was a commercially viable musical form and that musicians from outside folk culture could perform folk music. | | | Recognizing folk's potential for lyrical urgency and emotional immediacy, many musicians today follow in the footsteps of those mid-century crossover artists, creating electrifying cultural documents without plugging in. |

| | Progressive, The: Ani DiFranco - folk singer - Interview |
| | I was new on the folk circuit at the time, and I felt a lot of tension from these folk patrons about having me in their home--shaved-headed little punk girl--and I think they were very uncomfortable with me, which I used to get a lot from the old folk fascists. | | | And both being folk singers, of course, we've shared many a stage at folk festivals and benefit concerts and this and that. | | | Alternately sweet and in-your-face, mellow and raucous, she has opened up folk music to a new generation. |

| | Shetland Folk with its emphasis on fiddle virtuosity (and one of the few folk forms to use the piano as a prominent instrument) is often seen as a separate development from mainland Scottish music. | | | Though bands like Moving Hearts and singer Paul Brady have flirted with rock, the acoustic tradition still dominates; for over 40 years the Chieftains have remained one of the major ambassadors for the jig and the reel, collaborating with everyone from Frank Zappa to Van Morrison. | | | While the folk rockers, er, rocked, singer songwriters like John Martyn (OK he's a Scot), Nick Drake, Sandy Denny and Ralph McTell forged a distinctively English take on the acoustic guitar/sensitivity combination. |

| | The best thing about folk music, or what people call folk music these days, is that it's lyric-oriented and mixed forward. | | | Now 57, the folk musician is as likely to sing about second marriages and the pain of losing a parent as about traditional love and loss. | | | He is also an expressive singer whose own versions have been praised for their quiet beauty. |

| | Amazon.com: Music: Folk Singer [EXTRA TRACKS] [ORIGINAL RECORDING REMASTERED] |
| | The original nine "Folk Singer" tracks could have been a little tougher - Muddy's country blues recordings from the 40s certainly were - but "Folk Singer" remains a nice, mellow blues album, and with this excellent bonus material it has gotten even better. | | | But "Folk Singer" is really no more of a folk record than anything else Muddy Waters did; it is simply Waters playing the blues the way he did it back in the 40s - acoustically. | | | As someone who more or less performs in the category of folk singer and blues player, I find these artificial barriers between folk and popular forms of blues and country music to be the silly ignorance of people with bad views of culture. |
