Tracklist
Judy Collins
One of the best female folksingers of the '60s, Judy Collins championed other important songwriters (Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen) and eventually incorporated elements of cabaret and sophisticated pop a la Sondheim and Kurt Weill.
Arlo Guthrie
With the legendary folk singer and activist Woody Guthrie for a father, Arlo Guthrie had some big shoes to fill. It is a testament to the younger Guthrie's talent and charisma that he made a name for himself as a beloved folk singer in his own right and will most likely be remembered as a generational spokesperson for years to come. His 1967 anti-Vietnam song "Alice's Restaurant Massacree" became radio fodder, and was even made into a cult film. Guthrie performed at Woodstock, and had a top-20 hit in 1972 with Steve Goodman's poignant "City of New Orleans." Guthrie has continued to perform and release albums regularly, but is also known as a spokesperson in the fight against Huntington's Disease, the ailment that killed his father.
Eric Andersen
Andersen was one of the very first to follow Bob Dylan's lead as a folk singer-songwriter, and he was a key figure in the '60s Greenwich Village folk scene. His dark but gentle sound focused more on romance and poetry than on the protest songs that were de rigueur. His two albums with Rick Danko and Jonas Fjeld were a '90s high-water mark for Andersen, who has continued to release inspired material into the 21st century.
