Description

Britta Sweers chronicles the history of the genre and explores its cultural implications. She characterizes electric folk as both a result of the American folk revival of the early 1960s and a reaction against the dominance of American pop music abroad.

First Sentence

Electric folk or folk rock is not just a mere technical combination of acoustic or electric elements-or of folk and rock music.
