In 1935 the great quot;20th Century Minstrel,quot; Englishman Richard Dyer-Bennet, traveled by boat and bicycle to Stockholm in order to meet his idol, the famed Swedish folk minstrel Sven Scholander. The old master's style of singing so impressed the 22 year old Bennet that he stayed for two months, and in the process learned over a hundred songs. After practicing his art in Sweden and then in his native England, Dyer-Bennet moved to New York in 1941 and quickly became an integral part of the great folk music revival. He gave more than 50 concerts a year and recorded hundreds of songs for a variety of labels. Between 1955 and 1965 he recorded over a dozen albums of ancient tunes that have come to be regarded as some of the best classic folk performances of all time. This vintage recording from 1960 is a prime example of his unique mastery of the form. All selections newly re-mastered.
