Well, WLD, I do regard Wizz Jones as folk. Admittedly I don`t know that much of his stuff but what I heard is much better guitar-playing than all that strumming done by those rock/pop-musicians gone solo acoustic. Maybe that is the problem: people seem to think that a single person with an acoustic guitar is just one more of those guys playing pub-rock. The general public isn`t educated that good when it comes to music..
