I don't see how you get "folk" out of that, but OK.
The Elevators have a distinct vibe to their music that West Coast bands did not have. The Golden Dawn have it too; perhaps it's a Texas thing, I don't know. It's a bit more raw and less "guitar solo" action goes on than in some of the California bands. Blue Cheer were far more blues-oriented, and far far louder than the Elevators. They are definitely "psychedelic" though; many of the songs speak of the experience in fairly blatant terms, and the electric jug sound is not only fairly acidic, but makes the Elevators pretty easily identifiable even before hearing Roky's voice.
They are not even half as "noodly" as California bands like the Grateful Dead and Quicksilver, that's for sure.
