Folk songs are an important part of our culture. They are often very enjoyable to hear and can transmit facts and ideas to listeners. Traditional folk songs generally come from a culture that no longer exists, but they are still interesting. Folk songs of the past were generally transmitted orally. Singers often modified a song after they discovered it, either deliberately or accidentally. This is why different variations of the lyrics exist today. I've included the probable history of each of the songs described below where possible. The sailor song may have been partially derived from the Irish one. According to various sources, the word "Óró" in the title of the Irish song is a cheer. The rest of the title means "You Are Welcome Home". As is the case for English folk songs, there is some uncertainty about the history of the Irish one.

Sarah Jarosz – Follow Me Down, 2011 Jarosz was only 20 when this sophomore album dropped in 2011, a bona fide folk music prodigy skilled beyond her years as both a vocalist and picker of various stringed instruments. This Canadian progressive folk group truly takes eclectic to heart, and its original lineup tells you everything you need to know about their inspirations: Irish-style guitarist, French Canadian fiddle player, Appalachian claw hammer banjo player, Latin American-style percussion player and gospel music singer. Fuse all of those elements into a whole and you end up with an album of modern folk that touches on gospel spirituals, traditional sets of Irish reels and jigs and even a Tracy Chapman cover.

Famous American Folk Singers. Nothing sounds sweeter to the ears than songs native to one's roots and home - songs that are free from the frills and fancies of modern day music, songs that throb with the spirit of one's country. Over the years, we have seen and heard folk whiz like Bob Dylan, Pete Seeger, Jimmie Rodgers, Woody Guthrie and countless others belt out some pretty iconic, chest-thumping, no-nonsense music on things that matters most to the Americans - war, work, civil rights, hardship, satire and love  . Melding folk tunes with contemporary music and lacing it with some hard-hitting, nostalgic, or dreamy lyrics, American folk music has found a new identity with the current crop of folk singers.
