The Weavers.

Paul Campbell.

Words and music.

Sorry Sandy, I have to disagree with you still on this.

Personally Dylan sounds like a colossal prick (just goin' from ALL the books, folks) but he and Albert Grossman didn't do very much different than The Weavers (or Bob Gibson) did. I've always figured that your objections were partly based on hating his "renditions" of those songs.(you're in good company, but I LUVVVVVVED that first album)

I've mended my ways since.
