Folklore is the fourth and final studio album by 16 Horsepower. It was released in 2002 on Glitterhouse Records in Europe and on Jetset Records in USA.
As indicated by its name, most of the material on Folklore is drawn from traditional folk music. Only four songs ("Hutterite Mile," "Blessed Persistence," "Beyond the Pale" and "Flutter") are original compositions. Like Secret South, this album was produced by the band (reduced to the core trio of David Eugene Edwards, Pascal Humbert and Jean-Yves Tola) and engineered by Bob Ferbrache. According to Ferbrache, the album was written, recorded, mixed and mastered in 21 days, on a budget of just $5,000.[3]
