Many die-hard folkies consider Dave Van Ronk in a class apart from his contemporaries -- such as Bob Dylan, Eric Von Schmidt, or Jean Ritchie. Likewise, when asked to pick their favorite of his recordings, this one is likely among the first mentioned. It features a baker's dozen of Van Ronk's most memorable performances, presented in the intimate context of his own solo guitar accompaniment. This unadorned musical approach and deceptively simplistic delivery acts as both a gateway to, as well as an archetypal interpreter of, a roots-based folk music that is steeped in the American experience.
This recording features a selection of traditional material, most of which hadn't been included on Van Ronk’s earlier Folkways albums. What is most immediately striking about Van Ronk's approach is the overwhelming solitude inherent within his delivery. The unadorned humanity is expressed practically by default. Examples can be found throughout the album. As well as forging a unique style, Van Ronk also reflects his varied influences.
Dave Van Ronk was a vocal supporter of Bob Dylan in that he was one of, if not the first artist to have covered one of his tunes. The April 1962 sessions that yielded this recording would also produce enough material for his follow-up LP, ’Inside Dave Van Ronk,’ for Prestige's spin-off label, Folklore. This is the initial stereo release, in 1967, of this album, first released in 1962 in monaural only.

Note: I haven't cleaned this 55-year-old vinyl record because everybody seems to prefer their own methods. I'll leave the cleaning up to the buyer. Also, I'm not a professional vinyl seller or buyer. This comes from my own collection.
Enjoy the auction — and good luck!
