I've always considered myself a folk singer, even though we strapped on Rickenbacker guitars and played pretty loud.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I was reared on folk music.
I don't know about folk music. I play guitar, so there's a feeling I make folk music.
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.
If someone asked what kind of music I play, I wouldn't say I'm a folk singer; however, if folk music means music for the people, and playing music to entertain them and share different messages, then sure, I'd like to think that I'm part folk singer.
I've always thought about myself as somewhat of a folk musician. I just write words. I don't think I'm even a musician. I don't play a lot of instruments, not really a soloist or anything.
Folk rock was my real roots. I did a few gigs as a folk artist, in the style of Fairport Convention.
I always play songs that are very based in folk music.
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.
I never saw myself as a folk singer.
I don't think of myself as a folk singer per se, but I really like blues and string-band music. When I started listening to records when I was a teenager, the folk boom was going on.
