    Folk Radio Station?

    Looking at the almost folksy object/clothing theme, it'd be cool if a Folk (NOT country music) radio station was added to this pack!

      I'd love me some Bluegrass in TS4, especially if sims could play it on instruments!

      I could go for that. I like all kinds of music. I wouldn't mind bluegrass added as a few here have said.
      They can sing "folk" songs on the guitar so maybe it's a possible for the future.

      I don't consider country being folk, nor bluegrass. To me folk is more like Woodie Guthrie, Joan Baez, Peter Paul and Mary. Country is more like Waylon Jennings, Alabama, Garth Brooks. Bluegrass is more an off-shoot of country music.

      Having said that, I'm not a music expert (and I think my examples up there show my age, lol). I actually enjoy all of the above music, too. So anything along those lines I'd appreciate.

      There is a big crossover in musical styles. Folk is usually simpler music with fewer instruments or instruments mostly used in the region where it springs from. It's simpler music, often storytelling. I personally always think of a guitar and sometimes protest songs because they were big when I was born. Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, maybe Joni Mitchell is who I think of and they don't sound country at all. It can sound country though depending on where it's from, what it's about and who is singing it.
      I think Country music is an offshoot of folk, so yeah at it's roots maybe. Oh I see what you did there. :)
