"A legend of American folk music"
The former head of the Archive of Folk Song at the Library of Congress, Joe Hickerson has an encyclopedic knowledge of the traditional music of this country. It's been said that he knows more songs than anyone else alive, and he's adamant about passing them on--in concert, he's as much a songleader as a performer. "In spite of the star-performance syndrome of the folksong boom of the 1960s, and the penchant for stand-up hymn, sea, and pub singing in the ongoing folksong revival of the 70s," Joe says, "my preference continues to be for situations involving sit-down singing in groups of people." He wrote part of "Where Have All The Flowers Gone?" and he was the first person to record "Kumbaya." Joe Hickerson is the real deal when it comes to folk music!
