New printing - 11/07

Long out-of-print, 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, MA, from its beginnings in living rooms and Harvard Square coffee houses in the late 1950s to the heyday of the folk music revival in the early 1960s. Hundreds of photographs 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.

In honor of the 50th anniversary of Harvard Square's iconic Club 47, all photos have been rescreened to achieve a higher quality of reproduction.
