One of my favorites was "Folksong '65". It featured Freddie Neal and Tom Paxton among others. Sadly, although I have listened to him since his beginnings, I have never really gotten into Dylan. I always loved the stuff Freddie Neal and Vince Martin did; especially "Tear Down The Walls". Neal's "Bleeker and Macdougal" contains some great songs including 'Candy Man" which Roy Orbison made into a pop hit.

I knew Tom well in the early sixties, and he was the one who recommended me to Folk-Legacy, where I did my first two albums. He also gave me a very good review of my last folk album, Get Down Home.

For me, one of the most significant, indluential albums was actually two albums: Old-Time MUsic at Clarence Ashley's, with Doc Watson, on Folkways. More than anything else, these albums shaped my whole approach to folk music. I couldn't find any Clarence Ashley/Doc Watson tracks from either album, but here is Clarnece Ashley doing one of his signature songs which I have done most of my life. Little Sadie: link

Speaking influences, you may be able to hear the influence of Clarence Ashley and Doc Watson, and the Anthology of American Folk MUsic in this song... one I wrote. link

Glenn Yarbrough "Baby The Rain Must Fall" This album, with his title tune of the same name, highlights his great tenor voice.

When he died, one obit I read called him the acoustic Hendrix. Certainly a big influence on Jimmy Page & any contemporary folk guitarist working today.

One of the very first non-classical bits I learnt over 40 years ago and I still blag the descending bass line to this day, partly because you need to use the index finger to fret the low F and that forces you simultaneously to trill B to C on the B string using the second finger whilst keeping the right hand thumb going. A great piece and caps off to Davy Graham. Perhaps it should be played in DADGAD? Anyone?

Another significant album was Simon and Garfunkel's "Bridge over troubled waters"

For significance you'd have to mention "The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan", his 2nd LP
Contains his "protest" anthem and oft covered "Blowin' In The Wind" and also the many covered "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right".
Other noted tunes like "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall" and "Oxford Town" with "Masters Of War" round out this LPs "protest" offerings.
And his '64 LP "Another Side Of Bob Dylan" also contains a few songs that helped launch and sustain the careers of ROCK performers. Like "All I Really Want To Do"(Cher) , "It Ain't Me Babe"( Turtles), "Chimes Of Freedom" and "My Back Pages"( Byrds) Whitefang

Outstanding recording Dylan's outstanding second album is a tremendous jump from its predecessor. Whereas the debut established him as a peerless interpreter of folk and country-blues classics, and a singer like none before, this followup features some of the most pungent original songs of the '60s. "Blowin' in the Wind," "Masters of War," "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall," "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right," "I Shall Be Free": if this sounds like the lineup for a greatest-hits collection, you've got the idea. Nat Hentoff's liner notes are charmingly dated, but Dylan's idiosyncratic singing, unexpected lyrics, and inimitable guitar and harmonica playing are as immediate and relevant as whatever you heard on the radio today. (As great as this is, there's much more: a handful of top-rank outtakes from Freewheelin' appear on the Bootleg Series box set.) --Jimmy Guterman

Funny that none of this(I think) is in the Dylan thread. But while we're on the subject here, I usually suggest a listen to "Gospel Plow" from his first LP to those who make the usual cliched statement that he couldn't sing. And back to folk....How many old timers are there here who remember and used to watch the old "Hootenanny" TV show back in the '60's? Whitefang

Dang Fang.,.I hadn't thought of Hootenanny in years.
Its unfortunate the Hootenanny Singsers didn't cut an album
I think the first time I heard Marianne was on Hootenanny
