Regardless of whether he is or isn't, recently NPR had a fascinating interview of Jimmy McDonough who has just written a biography about him entitled, "Shakey." You can read about the interview, listen to it, and also listen to a NY Sampler by clicking here.

When I hear his early stuff: Buffalo Springfield, CSNY, which I really enjoy, I don't think folk, I think "hippie," which imo is not a bad thing.
