This new edition features illustrations by Brett Helquist.
This book presents a lively account of the Cambridge folk music
scene in the late 1950s and early 1960s. 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 coffeehouses in the late 1950s to
the heyday of the folk music revival in the early 1960s. Hundreds
of historical photographs, rescreened for this edition, 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.Compiled by two musicians
who were active participants in the Cambridge folk scene, the
volume documents a special time in United States culture when the
honesty and vitality of traditional folk music were combined with
the raw power of urban blues and the high energy of electric rock
and roll to create a new American popular music.
