Folk Alley Radio Show #250102
This week on Folk Alley, join Elena See for the first show of 2025 as we take a deep dive into the vibrant Greenwich Village folk scene of the early 1960s. Enjoy music from debut and early albums by young artists who went on to become icons of folk music, including Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Fred Neil, Karen Dalton, Phil Ochs, Tom Paxton, Eric Andersen, Judy Collins, and Koerner, Ray & Glover.
In the second hour, we continue the theme with songs from more debut albums by beloved folk and roots artists, featuring Joni Mitchell, Kate Wolf, Lucinda Williams, Tracy Chapman, Alison Krauss, Gillian Welch, Brandi Carlile, Kacey Musgraves, Rhiannon Giddens, and more.
