Folk music and narrative

Thought this from a John Lewis/The Guardian review of a Martin Carthy - Liza Carthy concert was very interesting:
"...Tonight's show reminds us that folk music, at its best, doesn't groove like rock, blues or jazz music. Its pulse is dictated by the narrative: it pauses, it hesitates, it bends time..."
