Various Artists - Folk Music At Newport - Part 1 (1995)

This album represents the first volume of the documentary audio chronicle of the famous 1959 Newport Folk Festival. The release immerses the listener in the atmosphere of America's first major folk music forum. The compilation features live performances by key figures of the genre, recorded with minimal processing to preserve the authenticity and "raw" energy of the concert.

The centerpiece of Part 1 typically features performances by Pete Seeger, whose charisma and audience interaction became the festival's trademark. The record also highlights works by Leon Bibb and Martha Schlamme, performing traditional ballads, work songs, and spirituals. This is not merely a music album, but a historical cross-section of an era when folk music was becoming the voice of a generation.
