Title: How have I missed this all these years?
Review: I picked up this CD, sight unseen, never having heard Dave Van Ronk. I fell in love with the lyrics of "Last Call", which are quoted in Lawrence Block's book "When the Sacred Ginmill Closes", and snapped up this album for that song alone. What a revelation! This music is right in that wonderful little niche between folk and blues, and it works all the way across the gamut, from the cynical anger of "Luang Prabang" to the tenderness of "Another Time and Place". I'll definitely be buying more of his stuff.
