Publisher Synopsis
Izzy Young, pioneer, guiding spirit, and legendary force of nature, makes musical things happen. He saw a lot and heard everything from his Folklore Center perch during the MacDougal Street '60s, and he wrote it all down. This inspired collection, history composed as it happened, tells it like it was, with Izzy's keen intelligence and his hearty generous soul. -- Sean Wilentz, author of Bob Dylan in America It is impossible to imagine the Greenwich Village folk scene of the 1960s without Izzy Young-in a world of quirky, talented characters, he provided a forum that was superlatively quirky and nurtured the greatest talents. I got much of my early education by roaming through the writings collected here, alternately thrilled and exasperated, but always envious because he was at the center of it all. -- Elijah Wald, author of How the Beatles Destroyed Rock N Roll: An Alternative History of American Popular Music Read more...
