Our Take

Ah, Dave Van Ronk, the man, the myth, the folk legend. "Folksinger" is a collection of raw, authentic tunes that showcase Van Ronk's undeniable talent and charm. From the moment the needle hits the vinyl, you are transported to a smoky New York City coffeehouse in the 1960s, where Van Ronk's gravelly voice and intricate guitar picking fill the room.

The album kicks off with the upbeat and energetic "Cocaine Blues," a real toe-tapper that sets the tone for what's to come. Van Ronk's storytelling abilities shine on tracks like "Hang Me, Oh Hang Me" and "He Was a Friend of Mine," where his lyrics paint vivid pictures of heartache and longing.

But it's not all doom and gloom on "Folksinger." Tracks like "House of the Rising Sun" and "Candy Man" inject a sense of playfulness and humor into the mix, proving that Van Ronk is not afraid to let his hair down and have a bit of fun.

The two bonus tracks included in this limited edition release are a welcome addition, showcasing even more of Van Ronk's musical prowess. "Please See That My Grave is Kept Clean" is a haunting and powerful closer that leaves you wanting more.

Overall, "Folksinger" is a must-have for any folk music enthusiast. Dave Van Ronk's timeless talent and unique style make this album a true gem in the folk music world. So grab your beret, pour yourself a cup of black coffee, and let Dave Van Ronk serenade you into the night.
