Singer-songwriters on Philo and Flying Fish

Article Abstract:

Singer-songwriters have frequently been considered synonymous with the genre of "folk" artist or folk musician since at least the middle of the 1960s, with numerous record labels and staged festivals having been shared by the two categories. It has been implied by some scholars that a substantial number of commercial artists who have claimed to be folk artists are appropriating the designation erroneously. A selection of music written by singer-songwriters on the Philo and Flying Fish recording labels between 1987-1995 are evaluated.
