Description
Folk rock blends acoustic folk music's storytelling tradition with rock's electric instruments and driving rhythms. Emerging in the mid-1960s, it combined socially conscious lyrics with amplified sound, bridging counterculture and mainstream audiences. The genre emphasizes melodic vocals, acoustic-electric instrumentation, and narrative songwriting rooted in folk traditions.
