Folk Rock is a musical style that combines elements of folk music with rock music. It began in the late 1950s and early 1960s in the United States and United Kingdom, and has since become a major genre in popular music. Folk Rock has its roots in the folk revival of the 1950s and 1960s, which was characterized by an emphasis on traditional folk songs and a belief in the inherent value of folk music. The genre was further developed in the 1960s by artists such as Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, and Peter, Paul and Mary, who combined traditional folk songs with electric instruments and rock rhythms. In the 1970s, artists such as David Bowie, Bruce Springsteen, and the Eagles incorporated elements of folk music into their rock music, creating a more polished and popular sound. The genre has continued to evolve in the decades since, with artists such as Mumford and Sons and Fleet Foxes creating a more contemporary folk rock sound.
