I note that there are two 'folk' CDs reviewed in the music section of today's 'Independent on Sunday' (UK newspaper). Neither of them are by people I have ever heard of and, after reading the reviews, I cannot see how either could possibly be classed as 'folk'. From the descriptions given they appear to be indistiguishable from the poppy stuff in the adjacent 'rock' and 'jazz' reviews. I suspect that the reviewers get send loads and loads of similar CDs. They then pick a handful, at random, to review and consult some chicken entrails when deciding what labels to slap on them.
