I`d say that country music is just one type of American folk music, and I think of "world music" as refering to music that comes, discernibly, from non-anglo cultures. In fact, in my local record store for instance, the World Music section is almost exclusively folk music.
So all three terms are interconnected, aren`t they?

Interesting point. I guess maybe my definition of folk is a little narrow. I tend to think of anglo/american when I think of folk but obviously it is a much broader category.
