Tom Paxton Artist Snapshot:

One of the best--and most underrated--singer/songwriters to come out of the 1960s folk boom, Tom Paxton wrote love songs and topical satires with equal fluency. A contemporary of Bob Dylan and Phil Ochs, he helped create the template for protest songs. Eventually, like most of his contemporaries, he drifted into electrified folk-rock. Later, Paxton carved out a second career as a children's songwriter and author, but that shouldn't diminish his reputation among adults; over the years his songs have been covered by everyone from the Move to Nanci Griffith, Dolly Parton, and Gram Parsons.

Dirty Linen (8-9/99, p.77) - "...this collection will brighten many a Paxton-head....Paxton's voice, so soft and gentle, and his wonderful songwriting talents made him a heavyweight in the 60s folk revival....The detailed liner notes...make this collection more precious."

A 26-track compilation titled after one of Tom Paxton's most beloved songs, I CAN'T HELP BUT WONDER WHERE I'M BOUND is a well-balanced overview of the singer-songwriter's 1964-'71 tenure at Elektra Records. Paxton is sometimes overlooked among the top tier of the Greenwich Village folkies, because of the range and variety of his material. Unlike the sometimes-strident Phil Ochs, Paxton mixed his serious, topical compositions with witty, Tom Lehrer-like satires, including "What Did You Learn in School Today?" and "Forest Lawn." He also wrote disarmingly tender love songs, including "The Last Thing on My Mind" and the title track. Naturally, this collection also features two of Paxton's most durable songs, "Bottle of Wine" and the Woody Guthrie-like children's classic "Goin' to the Zoo," along with other tracks from all of Paxton's Elektra albums, many of which have never been available on CD.
