Description: Longtime Chicago fixture, Old Town School of Folk Music, has hosted concerts and workshops since the mid-70's. Fortunately someone has had the foresight to record much of it. This first salvo of songs includes cuts by Steve Earle, Dave Van Ronk, Steve Goodman, Doc Watson, John Hartford, Donavan, John Hammond and others. You can buy individual cuts from iTunes or CD Baby. Sonics vary from acceptable to very good, with the newer recordings having the most realism.
