I don't know about folk music. I play guitar, so there's a feeling I make folk music.
It bothers me when musicians listen to music from the '60s and try and recreate it. Those people weren't trying to recreate music from the '20s. Why do it?
The only thing that's ever made sense to me has been sitting in the house by myself making music.
I have no interest in making music that's built for an antique shop.
I didn't start playing music really until I was 18/19, so it was a relatively new thing. I didn't play much music in school.
I remember always looking forward to listening to country music in the car with my mother, and it wasn't even something I enjoyed in the sense of music, but just being around music itself was enough.
