Description
Folk rock is a music genre that fuses the lyrical and acoustic sensibilities of traditional folk music with the instrumentation and rhythms of rock 'n' roll. Emerging in the mid-1960s, it often features acoustic instruments, such as guitars and banjos, combined with electric instruments and drum kits. The genre is known for its introspective lyrics that touch on social issues, personal experiences, and storytelling. Iconic artists like Bob Dylan, Simon & Garfunkel, and The Byrds played pivotal roles in its development and popularization. Folk rock paved the way for subsequent genres like singer-songwriter and indie folk
