Baby, Let Me Follow You Down is a classic
in the history of American popular culture. The book tells the
story of the folk music community in Cambridge, Massachusetts, from
its beginnings in living rooms and Harvard Square coffeehouses in
the late 1950s to the heyday of the folk music revival in the early
1960s. Hundreds of historical photographs, rescreened for this
edition, and dozens of interviews combine to re-create the years
when Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, and a lively band of Cambridge
folksingers led a generation in the rediscovery of American folk
music.

Compiled by two musicians who were active participants in the
Cambridge folk scene, the volume documents a special time in United
States culture when the honesty and vitality of traditional folk
music were combined with the raw power of urban blues and the high
energy of electric rock and roll to create a new American popular
music.
