It's Folk Rock week!
The term, first coined in the mid 60's, was supposedly used to describe The Byrds' fusion of traditional folk music and rock music and would be continued by artists such as Nick Drake, Bob Dylan, Neil Young and Fairport Convenion among others.
Still popular today, Wikipedia describes folk rock as "typified by clear vocal harmonies and a relatively "clean" (effects- and distortion-free) approach to electric instruments, as epitomized by the jangly 12-string guitar sound of The Byrds."
This seems to be quite a popular genre here at MB, so get posting!
I'll start you off with a couple of blatantly obvious tunes.
