Editorial Reviews

As seen in the recent Martin Scorcese directed Bob Dylan documentary No Direction Home , John Jacob Niles was a major influence and key progenitor of the 1950's folk resurgence in America. Historian, musicologist, performance artist Niles was one of the first American folk artists to take traditional material and completely make it his own, years before a young Bob Dylan started channeling Woody Guthrie. Today the late, great John Jacob Niles is admired by a new generation of folk enthusiasts and will no doubt inspire generations to come. An Evening With John Jacob Niles was originally released in 1959 and was Niles second album for the Tradition label. Our first Niles release, I Wonder As I Wander has received numerous accolades from the music press and the many folk enthusiasts who purchased the CD. Like our previous Niles release, to the delight of folk fans everywhere, An Evening With appears for the first time on CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars From Another Sweet World, September 22, 2006

This review is from: Evening With John Jacob Niles: The Tradition Years (Audio CD)
If the Scorcesee documentary did nothing else(and it did!)than unlock the vaults on Niles, it would have been satisfying. However, we have now more than ample offerings from this exquisite genius of the Folk idiom. He was no lad when these recordings were made but the voice is the thing to savour here, apart from the idiosyncratic flavour he brings to several well know songs. Surely, if Bob found him inspirational, Tim Buckley and Hamilton Camp would also have accessed Niles giddy tenor soprano as it soars almost unbelievably out of range. The other, almost forgotten link in this chain to the 1960s is Berl Ives, who was along with Pete Seeger & The Kingston Trio, the only thing that even hinted at 'folk' on my end of the radio.And let's not forget the cat-cutted howling of the inimitable Tiny Tim, whose Xmas carol interpretations bled through the airwaves, again, this festive seaon.Thanks to Tradition Records and John Juniors son for making this material available. And to that bowerbird affiacando of Folk Blues, Mr Martin S.

5.0 out of 5 stars looked for a long time..., January 20, 2007
This review is from: Evening With John Jacob Niles: The Tradition Years (Audio CD)
a number of years ago a taped a track from KDVS and the announcer noted the artist, John Jacob Niles. I did not know the name of the track. After many years, and facilitated by the Internet, i finally found the Carol of the Birds. This search is now over and I am glad I found this!
