Recorded in early 1960, Skiffle Folk Music found Donegan further refining his blend of American folk standards and contemporary pop sensibilities for the Sinetone label. This album arrived as skiffle's chart dominance waned, but Donegan remained a significant figure in British folk music.

Lonnie Donegan was a Scottish musician, often called the "King of Skiffle," who became a household name in the 1950s with his energetic folk and skiffle music. By 1960, Donegan had transitioned from the skiffle craze he helped popularize to a more folk-oriented sound, navigating the changing musical landscape of the early 1960s.
