GUEST,Paul G. The 'New Folk Movement'? (78* d) RE: The 'New Folk Movement'? 17 Aug 00


Russ has added a great twist to this thread. This really hits home with me because I'm frequently asked to categorize, define, explain, or otherwise lable my music. "Folk" or "Contemporary Folk" (yes, I know some of you will consider this an oxymoron) are the easiest of those answers because they elicit notions of acoustic music outside of the pop and country gernres -- though I don't find it a complete or even satifying response, so I usually end up in the long conversations Russ tries to avoid...I once replied "Florida Music" and the questioner said "Oh, like Jimmy Buffett!" So I don't use that terminology any longer...
