Arrangers: Dave Guard; Doc Watson; C.C. White. Founded in 1959 by Theodore Bikel, Oscar Brand, Pete Seeger, George Wein, and Albert Grossman, and modeled after the already established and successful Newport Jazz Festival, the Newport Folk Festival ran in its original configuration throughout the '60s before running out of gas in 1971 (the festival was revived in 1985 and has run annually ever since, although it has little more than its name in common with the festival's original run). Vanguard Records was on hand to record several of the mid-'60s lineups and as this sampler shows, there was a lot of vitality in the performances. Highlights here include Johnny Cash's spry version of his "Big River," a powerful, ominous, and spooky acoustic rendition by John Lee Hooker (complete with foot stomping) of "Hobo Blues," and a delightful duet between Joan Baez and Donovan on the latter's "Colours." ~ Steve Leggett Producer: Mary Katherine Aldin (Compilation) Engineer: Jeff Zaraya   Technical Info Release Date : 1996 Original Release Date : 1996 Catalog ID : 74003 Label : Vanguard Records (USA) Number of Discs : 1 Runtime : 37m : 23s Studio/Live : Live Mono/Stereo : Stereo SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 00015707400329    Product Image
