Bob Coltman's friendly prose, eye for detail and exceptional research capture a significant, if overlooked, player in the mid-century folk revival. . . . Recommended. * Sing Out!, July 1, 2009 *\u003cbr\u003eColtman's book was published in 2008, and it is a fine study of a nearly forgotten but still significant figure in the folksong revival of the 1950s and 1960s. The discography is useful, especially in its listing of non-commercial recordings, but equally fascinatingis the appendix of Clayton's copyrighted songs, divided into original compositions hybrids, and traditional songs. While there may not be many who have been longing for a book-length biography of Paul Clayton exists, there may be more people discovering the song and voice that I have respected for over twenty years. -- Morris S. Levy, December, 2009\u003cbr\u003eColtman, writing with obvious love for the time, the music, and the people who made the folk music revival of the mid-1900s a resource for all of us, provides a glimpse into the story of a man often walking the thin line between genius and insanity. As one who lived that era, I relived many times, places, and feelings reading this book. A must-read for old folkies, scholars of the folk revival, and indeed anyone who wants to read a vivid portrait of a man possessed with immeasurable talent and demons who left an indelible footprint on the folk music of his time.\" -- Ed Trickett, folk recording artist","brand":"Scarecrow Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51038339432791,"sku":"9780810861329","price":75.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780810861329.jpg?v=1750939979","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/paul-clayton-and-the-folksong-revival-american-folk-music-and-musicians-series-10-9780810861329","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
