The late Paul Clayton is the great 'could have been' of folk music - the 'missing link' between Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan. Possessed of a strong voice and driving intellect he spent many years researching traditional songs and writing his own superb originals. Bizarrely neglected by history, Clayton is often cited for his profound 'inspiration' on Bob Dylan yet his own sterling and pivotal recordings are all but forgotten. Among his varied and splendid discography, the two LPs he cut for Monument Records are rightly considered the best and are presented here for the first time in over four decades. 28 remastered tracks from 1959-1965 released on CD for the first time. Includes 4 non LP singles.
