folk scare
n.— «It’s not about all Joan, all the time. She is known for her voice—amazing—and was fortunate enough to first find success in the “folk scare,” as they call it, of the ’60s and early ’70s. But also it is about what she has done for other people, taking artists under her wing. She is about her community.» —“Baez stays true to message, music” by Linda East Brady Standard-Examiner (Ogden, Utah) July 10, 2009. (source: Double-Tongued Dictionary)
