About this product

Product Information

Dave Van Ronk (1936-2002) was one of the founding figures of the 1960s folk revival, but he was far more than that. A pioneer of modern acoustic blues, a fine songwriter and arranger, a powerful singer, and one of the most influential guitarists of the '60s, he was also a marvelous storyteller, a peerless musical historian, and one of the most quotable figures on the Village scene. Featuring encounters with young stars-to-be like Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell, The Mayor of MacDougal Street is a vivid evocation of a singular time and place -- a feast not only for fans of folk music and blues, but for anyone interested in the music, politics, and spirit of a revolutionary period in American culture.

    The mayor....

    We are fortunate in having his words available regarding all that happened during those years of the 'great folk scare' and the diverse array of talented unique people who were a part of the scene. It was a special time never to be replicated again....Dave writes with an amazing clarity of those times and with a sterling sense of humor and insight not only into the lives and times but also his own strengths and weaknesses

    tip top

    Especially fascinating for fans of Dave Van Ronk, his personal take and first hand account of the Great Folk Scare and The Village of the 50's & 60's. His keen eye and ear go right to the heart of the good, the great, and the weird of that cultural watershed. You'll love it.
