VA- Putumayo Presents: Best of Folk Music: Contemporary Folk

Release Date: April 18, 1995

Putumayo's Best of Folk Music: Contemporary Folk collection makes a strong case for the genre's mid-'90s heydays with outstanding cuts from big names like Mary Black ("Past the Point of Rescue"), Indigo Girls ("Hammer and Nail"), and Joan Baez ("Play Me Backwards"), but it's the lesser-known artists such as Cliff Eberhardt ("My Father's Shoes") and Kristen Hall ("Out in the Country") who make this 13-track compilation a pretty astute starter kit for anybody with even the slightest bit of interest in the burgeoning contemporary folk scene.
