Many sites have a "history" tab that should give you in on all types. I would also include the following anecdote (re: Bob Dylan, his folk audience and their rejection of his appearing with an electric guitar) as it is really the beginning of the impact of electric amplification on folk music. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_Dylan_controversy Kabum<br><b>References : </b><br> Here is an excellent article that should help you out:
