Folk music is an entity that encompasses an idea of freedom, freedom from the shackles of the society, and a freedom that defined music and its essence. As Bob Dylan would put it, folk music in those days was about presenting oneself and playing in clubs and cafes, and catching the attention of the audience with an attempt to make an impression, and in this manner it would make a connection with the society and the people who became a part (Greenwich Village and the Folk Revival video lecture).
