Fair enough. I wouldn't call it folk music either, under those terms.

Actually I wouldn't call it folk music at all, I only mention it because it because it's influenced by folk music more than any other singer/songwriter stuff. Her style of playing and touring is very folky. She lives on the road basically, and seems to spend a lot of time hanging out with folk musicians and learning new techniques to expand on her music. I think there is definately a difference between her and most singer/songwriters, and it's based in her folk influence, but for sure she's not a folk singer.
