Peter Isaacson Peter Isaacson Sings The Songs Of... Dylan-Donovan-Lightfoot-Hardin And Others (LP)

(Americana Anthropology) 15 tracks, clear yellow vinyl

The story of Peter Isaacson and the making of this album begins in the 1960s in Wichita, Kansas, the place where Isaacson learned to play music and began his career as a folk musician and singer. In 1967, lured by the folk scene that dominated New York City's Greenwich Village, Peter moved from the small town to the big city and was soon working as a house musician at Gerde's Folk City, an establishment known in the folk scene as the place where “little Bobby Dylan made sandwiches” while launching his own career. 

It was here that Isaacson got the opportunity to play with artists such as Phil Ochs, The Blues Project and Ian & Sylvia. In 1968, Peter Isaacson returned to Wichita and was invited to record the very songs he played every night during his time at Gerde's, not only the songs of Bob Dylan, Donovon, Gordon Lightfoot Lightfoot and Tim Hardin, but also the songs of other popular folk artists of the 1960s, including Joni Mithcell and Leonard Cohen, as well as folk scene influencers like Willie Dixon and Blind Willie Johnson. 

This expanded edition of Isaacson's debut album is now being released over 50 years after its original release!
