Hundreds of talented singer-songwriters emerged in the 1960s in the wake of Bob Dylan. Drawing on folk, blues and country roots, a love of rock'n'roll and a growing pop sensibility they made music that contributed to the coming of age of pop music.
This book explores the musical and cultural phenomena that shaped the singer-songwriter movement of the ¹60, and against this historical backdrop profiles the lives and songs of David Ackles, David Blue, Tim Buckley, Tim Hardin, Fred Neil, Phil Ochs, Tom Rapp, Tim Rose, and Tom Rush.
