It still has reverb on it though. mine has very little as well. I try to minimize reverb while still making it sound alive.
Yours is completely muddy from the reverb. The song I linked has no noticeable amount on the vocals. It was just the first video I clicked, and as previously stated, a vast majority of songs do not have reverb on the vocals, and certainly not to the extent you are using. I guess it's apples to oranges, as probably within the folk genre, it is used more liberally. Still, it doesn't change that I'd like to hear a mix with 0 reverb so I can see how it really sounds.
