"folk" as in "guitar-y singer-songwriterism"?

Folk as in traditional folk music. Don't know if that clears things up.

saint etienne - "like a motorway"
(which gets extra folk-authenticity points for appropriating the entire melody, and a few of the words, of "silver dagger" without any acknowledgement).

Hmm... maybe "The Gold Finch and the Oak Tree" or whatever by Ted Leo? Softly fingerpicked acoustic guitars on an album of fairly raucous, irish-inflected bar rock.

Does the Alabama Song count as folk? I don't know if Brecht wrote it, or if it's an older piece...if it counts, search Doors, destroy Bowie, if it doesn't, just ignore me.
