    Folk Music

    Folk Music
    Folk music includes both traditional music and the genre that evolved from it during the 20th century folk revival. The term originated in the 19th century but is often applied to music that is older than that. Some types of folk music are also called world music.

    Traditional folk music has been defined in several ways: as music transmitted orally, or as music with unknown composers. It has been contrasted with commercial and classical styles. One meaning often given is that of old songs, with no known composers; another is music that has been transmitted and evolved by a process of oral transmission or performed by custom over a long period of time.


    Hoping others like this genre as much as myself and maybe hear from others their favorite folk songs... starting with Corinne West & the Bandits on their "Starlight Highway" album.
