About the Album: Original studio cast recording of the celebrated musical. A TWO CD Collection!
The award-winning Folk City: The Musical brings its audience into the fascinating world of Beatniks, bohemians, hippies, folkies, blues players, singer-songwriters, poets, painters and rockers, all drawn to New York's Greenwich Village in the 1960s to realize their creative dreams.
Beatniks, bohemians, hippies, poets, singers, musicians, actors and artists are flocking to Greenwich Village and its hip little night spots. The legendary Folk City was a music venue in New York City's cultural bullseye.
The play takes place in Gerdes Folk City,, where, for three decades, we follow six young, creative hopefuls in the turbulent and exciting '60s, '70s and '80s, through dynamic musical, cultural, political, social and personal changes, with an original score including doo wop, folk, blues, '60s pop, folk-rock, psychedelia, Americana and rock.
The play (and this 2024 DigiMIX of the studio cast album) ranges from 1960 to 1985, following all the twists and turns, mirroring the music trends and cultural changes of the times. Singers, songwriters, poets, writers, painters and social activists have always been the pulsing heart of Greenwich Village and Folk City: The Musical honors them all. Their triumphs, challenges, relationships, jealousies, and their journeys through a myriad of cultural changes and their ongoing quest for recognition for their music to be heard, shared and to make a difference.
'Folk City: The Musical album is without question the most evocative and moving song cycle in any pop music genre I've heard in what seems like far too long...brilliance from stem to stern.'
