Customer Reviews
No, not really
The title of this CD is misleading in an amazing number of ways. None of the songs are in any way related to rock music, nor, with one exception, are any of the artists. Even calling it a compilation of 60's folk music is a stretch. There are a handful of selections by artists from the early 60's folk scene, but planted among them are songs by a couple of "folk-lite" bands (in the Kingston Trio/PP&M vein), two pop groups, and for some reason, a song by Traffic. I would be fascinated to learn what, in someone's mind, tied these together. Unless you are looking for a specific song, you can skip this one. Amazon sells dozens of other fine collections which better define both "60's folk" and "the roots of rock".
