Folk music does a great job of telling the stories of people of a particular time and place. That’s likely why it had a resurgence in the 1950s and 60s during times of social and political unrest. On today’s show we explore influential albums of the mid-century folk revival and of course sprinkle in plenty of bad folk puns and Dylan impressions.

• Joan Baez – Joan Baez (1960)
• The Kingston Trio – The Kingston Trio (1958)
• Bob Dylan – Bringing it All Back Home (1965)
