Description
180g virgin vinyl - remastered limited audiophile edition.
Guitarist, singer and songwriter, Dave Van Ronk was one of the greatest figures in folk music. He also inspired, aided, and promoted the careers of numerous singer/songwriters, most notably Bob Dylan. Dylan''s guitar style was, in great measure, inspired by Dave's. Van Ronk's recorded output was prolific, although he never wrote as many songs as his friends Dylan or Tom Paxton. Van Ronk's genius, however, derived from his flawless execution and rearranging of classic acoustic blues tunes.
Presented here in its entirety is his third LP, Folksinger, which contains, among others, the hits "He Was a Friend of Mine" and "Hang Me, Oh Hang Me".
"Many die-hard folkies consider Dave Van Ronk in a class apart from his contemporaries - such as Bob Dylan, Eric Von Schmidt, or Jean Ritchie. Likewise, when asked to pick their favorite of his recordings, Folksinger is likely among the first mentioned. The original LP features a baker's dozen of Van Ronk's most memorable performances, presented in the intimate context of his own solo guitar accompaniment." - Lindsay Planer - AllMusic
