By Bob Gibson and Carole Bender, is a biography of Bob Gibson, the unsung father of popular folk music. Gibson brought folk music to a new era of prominence through his rewriting and rearranging of traditional folk songs and presentation of them with new chord structures, an exciting style of harmonies and performance electricity that audiences hadn't heard before. To this library he added new songs, written in collaboration with Shel Silverstein, Hamilton Camp, Phil Ochs, Tom Paxton and others, which were recorded by groups ranging from Peter, Paul & Mary, Gordon Lightfoot, Glenn Yarbrough, George Carlin, and many, many others.
