Where To Watch
Can you answer all these questions about '60s folk music?
Classic tunes of the New American songbook.
As the wave of American folk revival crested into the 1960s, it crashed up against the British invasion, influenced by earlier traditional American folk. The two genres intertangled, and when the wave rolled back, folk rock was left in its wake.
From bohemian coffee spots to grand festival stages, folk music was integral to the American consciousness of the time. Let's take a listen back and see what you can remember about folk, folk rock, and rockin' folks during the 1960s!

wasn't chelsea morning on ladies of the canyon?
I don't know--the first time I ever heard it was on a Neil Diamond album (no, can't remember which one of his, either...).
Believe it was Neil Diamond's "Stones" album.
Could be--I know I have that one, anyway. Time to check YouTube Music...!
10/10. Own a few of these, the rest I chalk up, as ever, to the great musical education from my folks. :)
I only got 6 out of 10, and I thought I knew a lot about 60’s music 😕
10/10 Due to the fact I still have many of these vinyl albums. Am over 65+ years old now. It's history and you can listen to the deep cuts that never come up when you say Alexa "play" whoever & only the popular songs by the group/individual are played. Younger generations are missing out on some great music in any genre now. Who knew the Stones did a country song way back when? I got it.
You got 6 out of 10. Nailed this thing, easy.
I only got 6 out of 10, so Tom Dooley and John Henry dragged me out of Alice's Restaurant
and beat me up.
and beat me up.
yep, I play my vinyl copy of Alice every Thanksgiving.
Bru,
I do the same, great minds think alike. I saw Pete Seeger and Arlo at the Garden State Arts
Center back in the 1970's, it was one of the best shows I have ever seen, NOBODY ever worked
a crowd better than those two, they got everyone to sing along even grumps like my father.

Five out of 10.
I got 9/10! Woohoo!
I got them all! But I'm 67 so I was alive back then.

Me, too. Missed 3, 4, and 5.
Even though I was 4 in 1966 (when folk music was at its height) I *do* remember most of them. CKLW in Windsor/Detroit and WKNR and WXYZ in Detroit played #s 1 and 2 often, as well as the Lovin' Spoonful. Every time I hear "Summer in the City," I think of when my dad and I went on some errands in Warren and CKLW was playing that song; we heard it on the car radio (I also have the original 1966 45 of "Summer in the City," with "Butchie's Tune" on the B-side).

I'm assuming you're from southeastern Michigan--where were you listening to CKLW the Big 8? I was in Royal Oak (got a clock-radio for my twelfth or thirteenth birthday--first song I heard on it was Ricky Nelson's Garden Party.)
I was born in Louisville, Kentucky, but was raised in Warren from 1964-1971.
I was two in 1964 and nine in 1971--probably watching American Bandstand, but I only listened to the radio if my dad had it on in the car (at least from what I remember). Somewhere along the line, I discovered CKLW's country station (it was FM) and then went through three different country stations--WCXI (now sports talk, I think), WWWW (no idea) and WYCD, which I'm still listening to.
8/10 Missed 8 and 9, and was torn on #8 and almost guessed right.
7/10 some bad guesses there. Serves me right, as I'm mostly a 70's guy.
I'm really glad we've moved past '60s folk culture.
Bite your tongue! Folk and folk/rock are great!
LoL now that statement is funny.
I'm reminded of the folk singer character played by Neil Innes who said...
"I've suffered for my music. Now, It's your turn..."
"I've suffered for my music. Now, It's your turn..."

6/10 falls right into my age being so young.
Not sure what your age is. I can say you're looking good for any age...
