Early American Folk

Early American Folk music is a genre of traditional music that originated in the United States during the colonial period. It is characterized by its use of traditional instruments such as the fiddle, banjo, and guitar, as well as its focus on traditional folk songs and ballads. Early American Folk music often features a call-and-response style of singing, as well as a strong emphasis on storytelling. It is often seen as a precursor to the American folk revival of the 1960s and 1970s.
