The Conscience of the Folk Revival: The Writings of Israel Izzy Young

By Scott Barretta, Israel G. Young, Izzy Young

The Conscience of the Folk Revival: The Writings of Israel "Izzy" Young collects Young's writing, from his regular "Frets and Frails" column for Sing Out Magazine (1959-1969) to his commentaries on such contentious issues as copyright and commercialism. A key collection of primary sources on the American countercultural scene in New York City, this work will interest not only folk music fans, but students and scholars of American social and cultural history.
