Lonesome Road: Gems from the Vanguard Vaults 1958-1962
The recordings on this compilation are culled mainly from 1958-1962, a golden period for the label formed in NYC in 1947. Certainly the biggest act they snagged during this period was Joan Baez, and as the Sixties wore on it maintained its repuation as a cutting edge label. Along with the likes of The Weavers, Peggy Seeger and Tommy Makem this collection provides a fabulous taste of a time when Vanguard was a guarantee of quality, innovation and excitement.
