I don't know about folk music. I play guitar, so there's a feeling I make folk music.

I was reared on folk music.

Well, I don't think it ever did, but in the early '60s I got interested 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 came late to the genre of folk music.

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

I always play songs that are very based in folk music.

I grew up listening to a lot of soul music, and a lot of folk music.

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.

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.
