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.
All tracks composed by Phranc, except where indicated
