The Conscience of the Folk Revival

The Conscience of the Folk Revival is a collection of Israel G. Izzy Young's writings from his time as proprietor of the Folklore Center in Greenwich Village, the literal center of the New York folk music scene. It includes his personal recollections of seminal figures like Bob Dylan and Woody Guthrie, and offers detailed day-by-day accounts of the American countercultural scene in New York City. This key collection of primary sources will interest folk music fans, as well as students and scholars of American social and cultural history.
