Item Description

Description: The biggest names and most beloved songs from the folk music explosion of the 1960s and 1970s are included in this amazing 6-CD collection. You'll hear the topical songwriting of Bob Dylan and Phil Ochs; the personal and confessional music of Judy Collins and Gordon Lightfoot; the whimsical folk-pop of John Denver and Bread; traditional folk sounds by The Weavers, Peter, Paul and Mary and The Limeliters; and quirky yet infectious concoctions by Donovan and Cat Stevens.

This is music that captured the hearts and minds of Americans and defined a generation. The power of this music is undiminished, four decades later, and the universal messages in the songs are just as timely now. Consider some of the song titles included in Legends of Folk and it doesn't take long to make a connection with today's world: City of New Orleans (Arlo Guthrie); I Ain't Marching Anymore (Phil Ochs); and, of course, We Shall Overcome (Peter Seeger).

With 90 original folk hits on 6 CDs.
