Mayor of MacDougal Street, Paperback by Van Ronk, Dave; Wald, Elijah (CON); B.... Mayor of MacDougal Street, Paperback by Van Ronk, Dave; Wald, Elijah (CON); Block, Lawrence (FRW), ISBN 0306822164, ISBN-13 9780306822162, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Dave Van Ronk (1) was one of the founding figures of the 1960s folk revival, but he was far more than that. A pioneer of modern acoustic blues, a fine songwriter and arranger, a powerful singer, and one of the most influential guitarists of the '60s, he was also a marvelous storyteller, a peerless musical historian, and one of the most quotable figures on the Village scene. Featuring encounters with young stars-to-be like Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell, The Mayor of MacDougal Street is a vivid evocation of a singular time and place -- a feast not only for fans of folk music and blues, but for anyone interested in the music, politics, and spirit of a revolutionary period in American culture.
