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

I don't really know what 'folk music' means anymore.

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

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

I'm a folk artist at heart.

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

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