Eccentric Folk Soul

£27.99

Released: 13th November 2026. What exactly is folk soul? It's not the contemporary roots-rock or country-adjacent ballads you're probably familiar with. Folk soul sits right before, if not directly along - side, the black music diaspora of the midtolate '60s through the early '70s. Where spiritual soul channels the ethos of pro-black liberation and the broader struggle of its era, folk soul lived in the dissection, classification, and outright denial of the status quo - confronting the complex, rigid power struggles of the time through minimalist, classically trained, and forward-thinking approaches to song craft.
