Description

The first-ever book exclusively devoted to the history of the Newport Folk Festival, I Got a Song documents the trajectory of an American musical institution that started more than a half-century ago and continues to influence our figuring out of folk music nowadays. Rick Massimo’s research is complemented by extensive interviews with the individuals who were there and who made it all happen: the festival’s producers, a few of its biggest stars, and those who huddled within the fields to witness moments—like Bob Dylan’s famous electric performance in 1965—that survive in musical history. As folk has evolved over the decades, absorbing influences from rock, traditional music and the singer-songwriters of the ‘60s and ‘70s, the Newport Folk Festival has once again turn out to be a gathering point for young performers and fans. I Got a Song tells the stories, small and large, of a few generations of American folk music enthusiasts.
