Strange, no mention of England (Cecil Sharp, Ewan MacColl) or Scotland (Jimmy Shand, The Corries). Is this deliberate? Ogg 20:14, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
I think a full article is needed on the US folk revival of the 1950s & 1960s: Leadbelly, The Weavers, Kingston Trio, Harry Belafonte, Odetta, Joan Baez, Sing Out!, Peter Paul & Mary, Harry Smith anthology etc. Including reference to sales & radio airplay. Including the influence this boom had on established artists such as Johnny Cash, John lee Hooker, Muddy Waters, Lefty Frizzell, etc (they all "went folk" to get airplay and/or sales).

What did the author(s) know about US roots and revival if he/she/they don't even mention The Band?! -- Anonymous comment by 217.227.32.194 on 19 March 2007
The term 'roots revival' is used in reggae to describe the 'conscious' music of the early 70s. Wwwhatsup ( talk) 12:48, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
I figure he was partly responsible (1953 onwards?) for some kind of revival in England. Brief mention in article would seem fitting? I'm no expert in these things (folk / Wikipedia). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.163.154.188 ( talk) 03:28, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
In the other main folk/traditional music articles, it was decided to recognize "traditional music" and contemporary folk (including what is typically called the folk revival, aka widely known folk music made from the 1940s on, including folk rock)
95% of this article concerns itself with revival of interest in roots and traditional music. I am suggesting bringing that 95% up to 100% for clarity. Sincerely, North8000 ( talk) 17:19, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
How can this article be rated as B class with no citations and the inclusion of so much material that is someone's opinion, but we don't know which recognized experts agree? — Anne Delong ( talk) 15:51, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
