The Grateful Dead took over.  'Music' pulled-back from taking itself so seriously. 

Remember these guys?  (the Troubadour is mentioned in the last verse):

The Eagles came outta that circle.  Meanwhile, Gregg Allman was marrying Cher.  Yuck.

I'd heard OF them by nothing BY them until this piece. Reminds me very strongly of Poco, but their mention of Joy of Cooking really rang my chimes.

Peter and Paul aren't in this one, but Mary Travers delivers a powerful song from their 1967 album, ALBUM 1700.

Yeah.  I liked 'em too.  I wonder what happened to them.  They were voted the most listened-to group on college campuses by one of the trade-zines.  Great song.

All this early folk and folk rock should rightly include the sometimes bawdy, always-outrageous and truly powerful-equals-LOUD 1960s songstress, Judy Henske. Fortunately this has the full intro, itself hilarious (and true) about folk music itself, and a great final payoff stanza.

Wow, that dislodged my naked lunch.  Makes me wax misty for Nicole Louvier and existentialist canary-ate-the-cat ism.

Meanwhile, back on Woodward Avenue...

This September 2015 concert at Hyde Park, London brought back The Corrs, who ended their show with this mostly-instrumental, "Toss the Feathers." Irish folk rock, served up hot.

This one's from the Grand Ole Opry, and an explanation to go with the popular song "Burning House," by Cam....

I listened to about 25-minutes of it so far.  I need to be hearing it in an environment I'm unfamiliar with so the 2 can interact.

I couldn't find just the first song separately. Sorry 'bout that.

Here's another, far more direct, done by the guy who influenced Bob Dylan and almost every other first-generation folk singer.

I was privileged to spend an hour chatting with Ramblin' Jack Elliot in Ann Arbor a few years back, and after I quit smoking it's one of the funnier songs out there for me. He and Dave van Ronk over WBZ Boston in the mid-60s were two of my early faves.
