folkiest
Most down-home sounding
Folkiest is the superlative of folky or folksy—the most traditional, rustic, or down-home in character.
It often describes music with the strongest acoustic, roots-based quality: Their folkiest album features just guitar and fiddle.
It can also mean the most deliberately informal or unpretentious: the folkiest candidate on the debate stage.
