Music Banter - View Single Post - Stupid musical statements that you can't fathom

In a related vein, I was talking to a friend about folk music last night. He said, "listen to this. It's like, pure folk."

So I listened to it, and I said "it sounds like country" and he said "yeah well what's the difference?"

At first I was like, what do you mean what's the difference? And then I thought about it and I realized I couldn't actually define the difference between Folk and Country, as I didn't know it myself.

So I looked it up this morning. Folk Music and Country Music - How is Folk Music Different From Country Music?
