NotesNo label was more key to the '60's Folk revival than Vanguard, and none has put out a set like this. Disc one, "Roots of Folk," reaches back to songs like Tom Dooley and Kumbaya sung by stars from Paul Robeson to Doc Watson to the Weavers. Disc two, "Singers & Songwriters," features It Ain't Me Babe Joan Baez with Bob Dylan; the Universal Soldier Buffy Saint-Marie; M.T.A. Kingston Trio, and more. Disc three, "Folk Blues," adds soul stirrers by Son House, Muddy Waters and more. 45 tracks, 3 CDs, a nice low price and a Folk set like no other!
