Various Artists - The Golden Age Of American Popular Music: The Folk Hits CD (United Kingdom - Import)
This collection was compiled out of just about every folk hit to reach Billboards Top 100 during a time in which folk music was regarded as a form of light entertainment and not the means of political and personal expression that it has become. This 28 track compilation features folk hits such as "Walk Right In" by the Rooftop Singers, "If I Had a Hammer" by Peter Paul and Mary, "Greenback Dollar" by the Kingston Trio, "Lizzie Borden" by the Chad Mitchell Trio and more.
