I don't know. I belong to a local folklore society where the "concert committee produces many folk music concerts each year." Since most of these concerts are by singer songwriters singing their recently composed songs, and the society calls them "folk music concerts," I guess this song might qualify. On the other hand...

Oh hell, I only know "good music" and "bad music" (my opinion), and I've given up trying to understand (or even care) what "folk music" is.

So there!
