Positively 4th Street by David Hajdu

The Lives and Times of Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, Mimi Baez Fariña, and Richard Fariña

A vivid, interwoven biography of four central figures of the 1960s folk revival—two rising singer-songwriters and a married couple who were both musicians and writers—tracing their ascent from Greenwich Village clubs to national prominence, their political engagements and artistic disputes, the ruptures of friendship and romance that spawned cutting, influential songs, and a sudden, tragic death, all used to illuminate how fame, authenticity, personal rivalry, and commercial pressures reshaped American popular music and its myths.
