"From the coffeehouses of Greenwich Village to the stage of Woodstock, folksingers became a powerful cultural force in the 1960s. Mixing music and politics, tradition and innovation, romance and righteousness, these men and women were outspoken voices for their generation, each with a story to tell. This collection of profiles and essays by veteran music journalist Bruce Pollock, a Village resident and clubgoer during folk's heyday, documents the musicians' evolution from passing the hat to topping the charts"--Back cover
