A Great Overview and Introduction
Lankford has done a marvelous job in bringing together the conflicting currents of the folk scene in the United States before, during, and after its glory days. From the perspective of elapsed time, he traces the multiple streams that gave rise to the revival and flowering of the "old" music as well as the emergence of the "new" (or "new song") folk music...

Too general
Great topic but this book is full of supposition and not much that we haven't read a hundred times before. Very general overview with not a lot of interesting facts.

From the perspective of elapsed time, he traces the multiple streams that gave rise to the revival and flowering of the "old" music as well as the emergence of the "new" (or "new song") folk music. It is a good introduction to anyone interested in music. While I disagree with some of his implied conclusions and question some of his cause-effect relationships, he does present the material in a straightforward linear manner. The echoes of some of the issues he raises are still felt in the folk community today.
