If you listen to many different folksingers, you will notice that some of them sound "country" such as Woody and Arlo Guthrie, Tom Paxton, and Ramblin Jack Elliot, and some of them don't such as Pete Seeger, Kingston Trio, and Peter Paul & Mary. I believe that the first group should be called country-folk singers instead of just folksingers. I have trouble understanding why the country aspect of these folksingers is ignored.
Did you know that they had a celebration for Woody Guthrie in Ryman auditorium in Nashville? (Nashville celebrates Woody.) Did you know that Arlo Guthrie appeared on Country Music Television? Did you know that Ramblin Jack Elliot did duets with country singers? Did you know that Tom Paxton performed with the Burns Sisters? And did you know that Arlo Guthrie performed with Shennandoah?
What do these questions tell you?
