Description

New Folk refers to the music of folk artists who, partly inspired by Bob Dylan's shift away from political songwriting, moved away from the activist, draft-dodging set and started writing about personal experiences and daily life. This expansive category includes the likes of Suzanne Vega, Shawn Colvin, Billy Bragg, and the Roches; New Folk encompasses those who approach acoustic-oriented music as heartfelt personal expression.
