The second volume of Folk Singer-Humdinger captures Bob Dylan in his nascent Greenwich Village days, some months away from international superstardom, still in a phase of kicking around the open-mike scene that was thriving in New York's folk cafs in the early '60s. This collection of 45 tunes culled from the earliest-known radio broadcasts, live recordings, and even some early scrappy studio moments finds a young Dylan running through his highly Woody Guthrie-influenced rambling folk tunes, as well as his casual reappropriations and outright covers of gospel, blues, and hillbilly tunes. ~ Fred Thomas
