Reviews
Introductions by Jean Ritchie and Pete Seeger. Arrangements by Alfred D'Auberge. 57 songs by 57 artists, a good representative of the sort of folks that performed at the festivals (but no Dylan, Baez, or PP&M). Photos by David Gahr, many of them not included in The Face of Folk Music. Inkwash drawings of most of the musicians by Ernest Kurt Barth. Gives chords but not graphs.
