Folksinger

Folksinger is a 1962 album by Dave Van Ronk that presents solo interpretations of traditional folk, blues, and ragtime material. The recordings pair his rough-edged, conversational vocal delivery with intricate fingerstyle guitar, favoring sparse arrangements that highlight storytelling and instrumental nuance. The record is characteristic of Van Ronk's repertoire and approach and reflects his place in the early 1960s Greenwich Village folk revival.
