Yes, I do like to listen to folk songs. Folk songs appeal to me because I tend to like music that translates well into a live setting. The simplicity of folk songs aids two of the main goals of folk music- telling a story and spreading a message. l also enjoy the crosscultural interplay between the music of Europe, the British Isles, and the manner in which it crossed the Atlantic to flourish and mutate in the New Word. Lastly, it is not overproduced, pure, and uncurrupted by marketing. The lyrics reflect greater depth unlike most other genres of music.
