Live At Sir George Williams University Vinyl
Step into an intimate evening of folk storytelling with Dave Van Ronk’s “Live at Sir George Williams University”, a captivating live recording that showcases the raw honesty and wit of one of Greenwich Village’s true legends. Captured in Montreal in 1967, this performance is Van Ronk at his finest – unfiltered, fiery, and totally in command of the stage.
Known as the "Mayor of MacDougal Street," Van Ronk delivers gritty, heartfelt versions of traditional folk, blues, and jazz standards. Highlights include “Cocaine Blues,” “St. Louis Tickle,” and “God Bless the Child,” each one dripping with the raspy vocal charm and fingerpicking finesse that inspired countless artists, including Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell. His between-song banter is as sharp and soulful as the songs themselves, offering a glimpse into his larger-than-life personality.
This live set captures the kind of electricity only possible in front of a crowd. There’s a spontaneity and spirit here that can’t be faked – just one man, his guitar, and a room full of people hanging on every note. The recording quality is warm and immersive, giving vinyl lovers a true “you-are-there” experience.
Whether you're a longtime Van Ronk disciple or new to his influence, this LP is a must-own for any serious folk or acoustic blues collection. It’s history you can hear – and feel.
