Description of folk rock music

Folk rock is a musical genre that blends elements of folk music with rock music. It emerged in the mid-1960s in the United States and the United Kingdom, and was influenced by the folk music revival of that time, as well as by the British Invasion of rock and roll bands from the UK.

Folk rock typically features acoustic instruments such as acoustic guitar, banjo, and mandolin, as well as electric instruments such as electric guitar, bass, and drums. The lyrics often deal with social and political issues, as well as with personal themes such as love and relationships.

Some well-known folk rock artists include Bob Dylan, The Byrds, Simon & Garfunkel, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.
