Fantastic acoustic folk/blues!
3 April 1999
Format:Audio CD
This is my favorite folk/blues album, especially the first 13 tracks, originally released as "Dave Van Ronk, Folksinger" in the mid 60's (that title was deceptive as the album is mainly ballsy blues!). Van Ronk's raunchy vocals and incredible fingerpicking style guitar are unsurpassed. I wish he had made more bluesy albums like "Dave Van Ronk,Folksinger" and I still hold out hope that he'll do just that someday.

Folk music lovers should love this.
18 Jun 1998
Format:Audio CD
This album shows Dave Van Ronk at his best. His voice and his styling are perfect for performing these songs, ranging from light and playful to dark and brooding. I'm also a Jackson Browne fan, but I'd much rather hear Van Ronk perform "Cocaine" than Browne.
Especially in these days of overproduced music that still manages to sound redundant or derivative, Dave Van Ronk is "the real deal," to borrow Buddy Guy's signature phrase.
Van Ronk was an important influence on subsequent folk singers, and he deserves more recognition than he has received. Buy this album. You'll wonder how you lived without it.

Everyone should hear Van Ronk
3 Mar 2006
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Dave Van Ronk is one of the last "authentic" voices in our musical history. Brilliant, anarchistic, and possibly the best male interpreter of songs in my generation. Everyone who plays guitar, likes the blues, likes guitar, plays the blues... everyone should hear this album.
