The only folk punk I was aware of were the Pogues (from England originally) because of a friend who played Irish folk in Chicago.
btw...Pogue mahone is an anglicisation of the Irish phrase póg mo thóin, meaning "kiss my arse"

You can say Folk Punk is a rebranding of cowpunk or a subgenre of cowpunk if you prefer.

I love stuff like this...
