The English invented folk? Really? I wonder what that was I was listening to back in the 40's? Burl Ives, Pete Seeger, etc.

Almost everything boils down to opinion. A while back we had a young know it all here who thought ELO was folk.

Of all the female country singers, I always liked Wilma Lee Cooper because she was so REAL.How many Brits have heard of her?

By the by, I love Ronnie Gilberts singing.
