'60s Greenwich Village folkies: S/D

So much amazing music from this time and place. With the Dylan ballot poll in progress, seemed like a good time to discuss. Who is overlooked? Who is overrated? Who are the essential greats?

I bought this Carolyn Hester double-CD a couple of weeks ago:

Even with the photo right on the cover, I didn't clue into the fact that Dylan's debut was part of the package (with three Hester LPs). Seems really odd that Columbia would hand this over to a budget reissue label.

Wow, two whole posts. A lot of other threads cover such artists---but please describe Hester's albums! Don't think I've ever heard her at all.

I have Carolyn Hester's 'Scarlet Ribbons' (the song) on my hard drive, but I'm not sure how it got there. she reminds me a lot of Susan Reed with her high quavery voice and very careful enunciation. it's so weird that the Dylan album is tacked onto the end of that compilation. are you sure it's licensed? afaik all of those albums are in the public domain the UK, so maybe Jasmine mastered them from vinyl without any input from Columbia.

Jasmine seems like a pretty big reissue label, a lesser UK version of Rhino, so I'd be surprised if they put the Dylan out without permission. But I don't know.

Of the three Hester albums, it wasn't until the third that I found some songs I liked.

I thought the Dylan s/t was pretty much solo so why is it in the Hester box?

Weirdly that box set contains the only digital release of Dylan's "mixed up confusion" single

"Mixed Up Confusion" is on Biograph.

This article is accurate, far as I can tell. Good comments by Tim Riley. Guess this expanded reissue is a bootleg, or greyleg (legal somewhere)?

I thought that was a different version

Jasmine issue lots of discs that are out of copyright in the UK, they're not really like Rhino at all.

Geoff Muldaur, His Last Letter, 2-CD/LP and book, his blues, jazz influences, Bix, Duke, Lenoir, Lonnie Johnson, some much more obscure (also music for a Tennessee Williams poem for inst---and on Fresh Air, also some that he did w Kweskin, & talks about the era, how he got there and away from it: good musical excerpts and interview:https://www.npr.org/2022/07/15/1111693114/singer-songwriter-geoff-muldaur-performs-jazz-and-blues-from-the-20s-and-30s"> https://www.npr.org/2022/07/15/1111693114/singer-songwriter-geoff-muldaur-performs-jazz-and-blues-from-the-20s-and-30s Think a lot of the book may be backstories of songs and where and how he found them, what they meant to him, though def not raised in Bluesville.

That's a new release, I should have said.
