Paul Clayton And The Folksong Revival( Series - American Folk Music And Folk Musicians )

Paul Clayton and the Folksong Revival is the first biography of the folk singer and song collector Paul Clayton (1931-1967). Preeminently a scholar-balladeer, Clayton composed the 1 hit Gotta Travel On, while single-handedly bringing hundreds of obscure folksongs to light for the mid-century radio and recording market. He influenced listeners and friends from Dave Van Ronk to Bob Dylan, who considered Clayton a mentor, mindguard, and well of folksong.
