SynopsisThis definitive story of American folk music focuses on how a minority music genre suddenly became the emergent voice of a generation at the end of the Eisenhower years. From Kingston Trio's "Tom Dooley" in 1958 to Bob Dylan's electric performance at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965, folk influenced American culture and eventually became absorbed into popular music. The author also explores how authentic folk is now experiencing a second revival, taking its place in our contemporary fascination with roots music., This definitive story of American folk music focuses on how a minority music genre suddenly became the emergent voice of a generation at the end of the Eisenhower years. Go back to a more innocent time of Washington Square jam sessions, Pete Seeger sing-alongs, and Greenwich Village coffee houses.

They neglected their textbooks for copies of Sing Out! and Broadside, and spent their hard-earned cash on the latest Joan Baez album and Limeliters? concert. From Kingston Trio's "Tom Dooley" in 1958 to Bo ( Dylan's electric performance at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965, folk influenced American culture and eventually became absorbed into popular music.
