Description:
This film uses archival footage from the Newport Folk Festival, spanning 1963 to 1966. It features performances and interviews with prominent artists like Peter, Paul and Mary, Joan Baez, Pete Seeger, and Bob Dylan (both acoustic and electric). Blues musicians Son House and Mike Bloomfield discuss the genre, while John Hurt, Howlin' Wolf, and Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee demonstrate its diverse styles. The Osborne Brothers showcase bluegrass. Donovan, Johnny Cash, Judy Collins, Mimi and Dick Farina, and other lesser-known performers also appear. The film includes conversations about musical philosophy and explores the essence of folk music, all set against a backdrop of a largely clean-cut audience.
