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 relays the personal tragedy of suicide in "Lifelover."
Folksinger was released on Rhino Records, and was licensed to Island Records in 1990.[8] "Everywhere I Go (I Hear the Go-Go's)" is a bonus track on the Island version.
