Folksinger (album)

Folksinger is an album by folk singer-songwriter Phranc, released in 1985.

Phranc's first solo LP fused elements of her punk rock past with acoustic folk music. She covers Bob Dylan's " The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll," comments on the image of girl groups ("Everywhere I Go (I Hear the Go Go's)") and the personal tragedy of suicide in "Lifelover".

Folksinger was originally released on Rhino Records and was then licensed to Island Records. "Everywhere I Go (I Hear the Go-Go's)" was a bonus track on the Island version.
