Interesting, Richard - from this, it seems if you sing at least one traditional song in your repertoire, you can be called a folk singer. But if you don't, you can't. Is that what you meant?
As for CTW, I confess I would have considered him a pop singer myself, albeit in the 'singer/songwriter' vein. I think we have one of his albums at home - maybe I should dig it out and listen again.
