I was reared on folk music.

I became interested in folk music because I had to make it somehow.

I'd experimented with so many different types of music. I had these folky songs I'd written and recorded, but something wasn't quite right.

Folk rock was my real roots. I did a few gigs as a folk artist, in the style of Fairport Convention.

Everybody would grab a guitar and listen to somebody else and call themselves a folk singer. When they didn't know no more songs, they'd run out of them.

I've always considered myself a folk singer, even though we strapped on Rickenbacker guitars and played pretty loud.

I came late to the genre of folk music.

Folk is bare bones music.

I got hooked into folk music by accident, because that's what white college kids liked when I was a child.

Growing up, I didn't really like folk music - I wasn't a fan of Bob Dylan. I grew up mostly listening to rap and hip-hop; it was this new form of music.
