The Bleecker Street Tapes: Echoes of Greenwich Village - Paperback

by Bruce Pollock (Author)

In this collection of intimate interviews, profiles and essays, from Phil Ochs to Leonard Cohen, veteran music journalist Bruce Pollock, a Greenwich Village resident and clubgoer during its heyday, documents folk music's evolution from passing the hat to topping the charts.

From the coffeehouses of Greenwich Village to the stage of Woodstock, folksingers became a powerful cultural force in the 1960s. Mixing music and politics, tradition and innovation, romance and righteousness, these men and women were outspoken voices for their generation, each with a story to tell.
