Cover Text:
"Hootenanny" is to folk music what "jam session" is to jazz, namely a gathering together of all sorts of people---celebrated performers, amateur singers and pickers, and sing-along, hand-clapping devotees. The meeting ground is simply a vigorous love for folk music. The Hootenanny was a necessary invention of the late 1930's. The "Hoot" was a completely spontaneous, unrestrained event, and consequently produced many of America's greatest folk artists and songs. Today, folk music is practically in the Big Business category and the word "Hootenanny" has even made Webster's. Accordingly, Hoots are liable to take place anywhere---the basement, the nite club, or the Modesto after a concert---and now on record. Luckily for all of us folkniks, the essence of the old Hootenanny, variety and incredible excitement---still remains.
Mostly recorded Oct. 82 - Jan. 83 at a warehouse in some godawful suburb north of Mpls.
