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.

gollark: It was also very annoying, but I think it's more of a joke/nostalgia thing.
gollark: Also, 1-based indexing is evil, yes.
gollark: Though I dislike how Python has so many weird syntax special cases and features; Lua's is comparatively simple.
