"...found the first two episodes of this, on the roots of R&B and rockabilly, tricky to follow. I craved more dates and linearity. Things had, however, settled down by the third episode covering Lead Belly, the folklorist Alan Lomax, the Greenwich Village scene and Bob Dylan."

"St Vincent is your soothing host for this fine music lesson...The characters of the time are compelling subjects...St Vincent shows how this wasn’t just a man’s world."
