Long out of print, Baby, Let Me Follow You Down is a classic in the history of American popular culture. The book tells the story of the folk music community in Cambridge, Massachusetts, from its beginnings in living rooms and Harvard Square coffeehouses in the late 1950s to the heyday of the folk music revival in the early 1960s. Hundreds of historical photographs, rescreened for this edition, and dozens of interviews combine to re-create the years when Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, and a lively band of Cambridge folksingers led a generation in the rediscovery of American folk music. Compiled by two musicians who were active participants in the Cambridge folk scene, the volume documents a special time in United States culture when the honesty and vitality of traditional folk music were combined with the raw power of urban blues and the high energy of electric rock and roll to create a new American popular music.

This one is for Caitlin and Megan. With love, from Papa.
It is also for John and Eileen Rooney. With love, from Jimmy.

The story of a book is not as important as the story in the book, so we will spare you that. Suffice it to say that it was no magic show. It was not done with mirrors. We worked hard, because we wanted to. And we were helped by a lot of people, because they wanted to.
