Baby, Let Me Follow You Down: The Illustrated Story of the Cambridge Folk Years

by Eric Von Schmidt

Baby, Let Me Follow You Down: The Illustrated Story of the Cambridge Folk Years Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

"A lavish, comprehensive portrait of a particular place and time that shaped so much of the folk music community today....A masterpiece of oral history (that) demands a position on any folkie's must read list". — Folk Alliance Newsletter

Book News Annotation:

Identified as a second edition, but more accurately a reprint (with a brief new preface) of a 1979 work. Combining interviews, photos, and narrative, two musician/participants in the scene document the folk music community in Cambridge, Massachusetts from its beginnings in the 1950s to the heyday of the folk music revival in the early 1960s.
Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Synopsis:

Long out of print, Baby, Let Me Follow You Down is a classic in the history of American popular culture. The book tells the story of the folk music community in Cambridge, Massachusetts, from its beginnings in living rooms and Harvard Square coffee houses in the late 1950s to the heyday of the folk music revival in the early 1960s. Hundreds of photographs and dozens of interviews combine to re-create the years when Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, and a lively band of Cambridge folksingers led a generation in the rediscovery of American folk music.
