Required Listening: 60s Folksters

Yes friends, it’s been far too long. We were busy, not busy, then busy again. Things have slowed down a hair, and I wanted to make sure we got a few updates out to you before things picked up again. So this – our latest edition of “Required Listening” – will be the first in a quick round of posts. Best be gittin yerself ready.

Today we highlight two (yes, two!) of our favorite folk troubadours of the 1960s. Now I’m not typically one to favor the harmonica, as it tends to bring back painful memories of John Popper and Blues Traveler, but these two songs feature a lovely harmonica that compliments their subtle guitar lines to form perfectly simple folk tunes with huge hearts.

First up, the legendary Bob Dylan and his simply beautiful 1963 song, Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right

And wash that down with the lesser-known Scottish import and Beatle-buddy Donovan and his 1965 debut Catch the Wind

Gosh, those are good songs, right?

(p.s. I’ve become aware that our fancy wordpress plugin to play music doesn’t show up in some RSS readers…so if you’re reading this in an RSS feed, do yourself a favor and click through to our actual site and listen to the music. We might figure out how to fix that sooner or later, but probably not. xoxo D&P)
