a word of advice... you cannot. black people only understand the intuitive side of music (i.e. rhythm/groove), they cannot comprehend the logos that defines folk like bod dylan, jacskon c frank, townes van zandt, elliott smith, the list goes on...
Name 1 good black folk singer
Juan Cox

>tfw folk singers are just artsy fartsy versions of country singers, and country singers are ripping off the blues.
Colton Peterson
i'm sorry sir but i need to see your based license
Gavin Scott
Rap and folk are literally the same genre
Wyatt Nelson
Blind Willie Johnson has a better voice than all those pussies combined. And his music sounds a lot more real than any of these bozos.
Aaron Robinson
Bob Dylan is black
Levi James
Plenty if you counts blues musicians as folk.
Logan Scott
John Lee Hooker.
Liam Young
why did they die off by the 60s, though? it's really strange how suddenly a dude and his guitar became a distinctly white thing.
Eli Clark
It was still a thing though thanks to electric blues guys like BB King. It’s just that nobody in America gave a shit about these dudes. Their biggest fans were Brits who would then form bands like Cream, Rolling Stones, Zeppelin. And when these bands got popular they would often try to get the black dudes to join their tours.
