Tom Paxton
There is no shortage of live Tom Paxton available on CD, and a cursory perusal of the track listings reveals that the set list varies only slightly from show to show and year to year, as new topical compositions replace worn-out dated ones. That the staples of his catalog remain in his show is no big surprise, as many of Paxton's fans have been ...

Tom Paxton
The recordings Tom Paxton made at the beginning of his career for Elektra Records in the 1960s and early 1970s are inarguably his most important and influential. Those Elektra albums have been out of print for quite some time, and this 26-track survey of his 1964-71 recordings for the label, I Can't Help but Wonder Where I'm Bound, is an overdue ...

Judy Collins 3 & 4

by
Judy Collins
As good as Judy Collins' first two albums were in the early '60s (A Maid of Constant Sorrow and Golden Apples of the Sun), neither suggested the depth or vision she'd later become noted for. By the release of Judy Collins #3 in 1963, however, it became apparent that a deeper intelligence lay behind the choice of material and arrangements. The song ...

by
The Kingston Trio
By the time the Kingston Trio ended up on Decca in early 1964, they were already established stars of the folk music set. But as a commercial entity, they had arguably peaked, losing original member Dave Guard and replacing him with John Stewart. But the group soldiered on for four more studio albums and the best of it is collected here on this 16 ...

Ramblin' Boy
(1964)
more music like this
by
Tom Paxton
Tom Paxton's debut album sounds rather dated these days, as do many of the releases from the folk revival's army of singer/songwriters (Bob Dylan aside), and often for the same simple reason: nothing grows old faster than topical material. What keeps Ramblin' Boy from being just another period piece from the 1960s are a trio of songs in which ...

Denny's first sessions, originally recorded in 1967, are her most traditional effort. Backed only by her own acoustic guitar, Denny's voice is assured, pure, and powerful on her debut. The album features traditional folk staples like "This Train," "Make Me a Pallet on Your Floor," and "Pretty Polly," as well as covers of Tom Paxton's "Ramblin' Boy ...

The folk music movement centered in New York's Greenwich Village in the early 1960s, although it was steeped in traditional repertoire, it quickly focused on new, original songs written by the performers themselves, songs that explored mature personal concerns and commented on the social and political issues of the day.
