She's a country artist first and foremost, but yeah, Hawk is right: those are all folk songs. "From Clare to Here" is, you'll not be surprised to hear, an old Irish traditional folk song.

Grammys can be used as a genre authority? What the hell has this place come to?

If it quacks like a country duck, it's a country duck.
Luckily, country is also folk, so we don't need to have this discussion.

I knew the first time I heard it 25 years ago it was folk music.

The way I understood that was I listened to it and they’re folk songs by folk singers, like Townes Van Zandt.

So this album has no country tunes? I'm just trying to learn how to differentiate the 2.

Folk appeals to the political and sentimental in you

Country appeals to the drunk and horny in you
