Re: Question For All. Definition of a Folk Singer
The larger question is this: so what? We're never going to get a consensus on what constitutes folk music, but why should the definition matter? If the music is good and if it speaks to us, that's all that should matter. Don't forget that over the last 50+ years, attempts to define folk music seem to have been attempts to exclude certain performers and styles (i.e., a folkier than thou approach).
