folk rock

Folk rock is a music genre that blends traditional folk music's storytelling, melodies, and acoustic instruments with the rhythm, energy, and techniques of rock music. Emerging in the 1960s, it often features guitar-driven sound, honest lyrics, and a focus on social or personal themes. This style allows artists to maintain the thoughtful, poetic qualities of folk while embracing the dynamic and amplified sound of rock, creating a genre that appeals to both the lyrical depth of folk and the vibrant spirit of rock.
