Folk music has been popular in various forms throughout history, but it experienced a resurgence during the mid-20th century, around the 1940s and 1950s, through the work of artists like Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, and the Weavers. This was part of the “folk revival” which also included a renewed interest in traditional folk music from various cultures around the world. The popularity of folk music continued into the 1960s with artists like Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, and many others.
