This songbook contains a varied mix of both traditional and contemporary folk songs. Whilst there is a strong focus on the work of folk singer-songwriters and songs that emerged during the 1960s folk revival, there are also sea shanties and other traditional songs from North America and the British Isles. Most of the songs can be found in Folk Alley’s list of the ‘100 Most Essential Folk Songs Of All Time’. There are songs made famous by recording artists such as: Bob Dylan, The Kingston Trio, Woody Guthrie, The Dubliners, Tom Paxton, Lead Belly, Joan Baez, Donovan, Phil Ochs, Simon & Garfunkel, Pete Seeger, and Peter, Paul and Mary. Songs include: 'Blowin’ in the Wind', 'Tom Dooley', ‘This Land is Your Land’, 'Streets of London', ‘Turn, Turn, Turn’, ‘Midnight Special’, 'Puff the Magic Dragon', 'Catch the Wind', 'Eve of Destruction', ‘City of New Orleans’, ‘The Wellerman’, 'If I Had a Hammer', 'There But For Fortune', 'Whiskey in the Jar', 'The Last Thing On My Mind' and 'Homeward Bound'. Each song has been arranged for the guitar and is presented over a double-page spread with chords above the lyrics. There are two and three chord songs that would suit beginner guitarists, but also songs that might challenge more advanced players.
