Studio album debut by Swedish Nordic folk and folklore singer Sofia Karlsson who took part in the two Swedish folk bands Eter (on its only album from '98) and the music collective Groupa (from 1998-2002).
The music on Folk Songs seem much alike the music she has been engaged in with her two bands. Except from one song, they are all traditional Nordic folk music compositions re-arranged for the album with the use of traditional instrumentation.
It's mostly rather quiet music and they don't reflect a huge variety. The strongest asset here is undoubtedly Karlssons warm and beautiful singing voice.
