Most of its been said by RiB, Steve, Vix, Frank and radriano....And Steve, what little I've heard from you sister, I just LOVE......its got that "sound." Beautiful voice. And I think that's the thing too. There are "sounds" I like and "sounds" I don't. I think that's where the term "folk-like" fits. It sounds traditional and folky or whatever and is true to the particular "sound" of that genre, be it Irish, Appalachian, Western, or whatever. Fortunately, at least to my ear, the whiners are easy to pick out and I avoid the "navel contemplation" types at all costs.
