"The Folk Revival: Re-discovering Country Blues" Locale: Newport, RI By the 1960s, Chicago blues had peaked and a resurgence of electrified roots music was in full swing throughout America's college campuses and coffeehouses. At the Newport Folk Festival, older blues artists returned to the stage after being re-discovered by amateur musicologists who had scoured the South in search of their heroes. Program interviewees include Jorma Kaukonen, Peter Wolf, Maria Muldaur, and many others who experienced the folk-blues boom first hand. The legendary John Hammond performs.
