Album Description:
As seen in the recent Martin Scorcese directed Bob Dylan documentary "No Direction Home", John Jacob Niles was a major influence and key progenitor of the 1950’s folk resurgence in America. Historian, musicologist, performance artist – Niles was one of the first American folk artists to take traditional material and completely make it his own, years before a young Bob Dylan started channeling Woody Guthrie. Today the late, great John Jacob Niles is admired by a new generation of folk enthusiasts and will no doubt inspire generations to come. "An Evening With John Jacob Niles" was originally released in 1959 and was Niles second album for the Tradition label. Our first Niles release, "I Wonder As I Wander" has received numerous accolades from the music press and the many folk enthusiasts who purchased the CD. Like our previous Niles release, to the delight of folk fans everywhere, "An Evening With" appears for the first time on CD.
