[Genre211]
Also known as:  Psych Folk
Music based on traditional acoustic folk forms, but reinvented through an aesthetic similar to that of other "psychedelic" music genres, and a blending with a number of other possible music styles, such as Psychedelic Rock, folk traditions from around the world, medieval music, chanting, etc.  The lyrics are often (but not always) psychedelic as well, and sometimes with an emphasis on things like the natural world, love, mysticism, and other things associated with the 60s subculture that it rose out of.  Developed in the 1960s, and important early artists included The Incredible String Band, The Holy Modal Rounders, Tyrannosaurus Rex, etc.
