Label: Soundsgood Reissued 2023, Originally released 1962 180-Gram Virgin Vinyl Limited Edition - * AllMusic. Guitarist, singer and songwriter, Dave Van Ronk was one of the greatest figures in folk music. He also inspired, aided, and promoted the careers of numerous singer/songwriters, most notably Bob Dylan. Dylan's guitar style was, in great measure, inspired by Dave's. Van Ronk's recorded output was prolific, although he never wrote as many songs as his friends Dylan or Tom Paxton. Van Ronk's genius, however, derived from his flawless execution and rearranging of classic acoustic blues tunes. Presented here in it's entirety is his third LP, Folksinger, which contains, among others, the hits "He Was a Friend of Mine" and "Hang Me, Oh Hang Me". Also includes 2 BONUS TRACKS, "Dink's Song" and the well-known "Tell Old Bill". 180-GRAM VIRGIN VINYL REMASTERED LIMITED AUDIOPHILE EDITION Track Listing: He Was a Friend of Mine Motherless Children Stackalee Mr. Noah Come Back Baby Poor Lazarus Dink’s Song Samson & Delilah Cocaine Blues You've Been a Good Old Wagon Fixin' to Die Hang Me, Oh Hang Me Long John Chicken Is Nice Tell Old Bill
