Thoughts on Folk music.

Folk music, and what it means to me.











Adam Haworth Stephens


 Alright, let me start off by saying that I'm being simplistic in my use of the term "folk music" here. It can refer to many genres and sub-genres of music, but to make things easier, let's say that we are touching on contemporary American Folk Rock here.

 You could say that Bob Dylan, Neil Young, and others of that era could be considered contemporary folk artists, but while I do love their music, I am referring to artists such as Adam Haworth Stephens (Two Gallants..), Simone Felice (The Felice Brothers, The Duke and The King..), Iron and Wine, The Low Anthem, The Deep Dark Woods, and others. There are many that I would like to list, but I would never get to the point if I did.
