Folk
Folk music draws from traditional songs and storytelling, often using acoustic instruments like guitar, banjo, fiddle, and mandolin. Rooted in oral traditions and regional styles, folk emphasizes melody, lyrics, and simple, direct arrangements. Over time, it has evolved to include contemporary singer-songwriter styles, while retaining its focus on narrative and authenticity. On high-fidelity vinyl, folk recordings capture the natural resonance of acoustic instruments and the subtlety of the vocals, highlighting the warmth and intimacy of each performance.
