Folk Alley Radio Show #250731

This week on Folk Alley, Cindy Howes takes you back to 1965 for our annual 60-Year Throwback episode. It was the year Dylan went electric and the Greenwich Village folk scene was buzzing with change. You’ll hear classics from Joan Baez, Odetta, Johnny Cash, Phil Ochs, Bert Jansch, Donovan, Jim Kweskin & The Jug Band, Koerner, Ray & Glover, The Holy Modal Rounders, Bob Dylan (of course), and plenty more. It’s a snapshot of folk music on the edge of revolution—don’t miss it.
