This week, our hosts talk about 2 different books ("Baby Let Me Follow You Down: The Illustrated Story of the Cambridge Folk Years" by Eric Von Schmidt & Jim Rooney AND "Dylan Goes Electric!: Newport, Seeger, Dylan, and the Night That Split the Sixties" by Elijah Wald), elaborating on the important watershed moments of what was happening musically in folk revivals as well as their own experiences during these times.
