Includes liner notes by Roger McGuinn.

TREASURES FROM THE FOLK DEN was nominated for the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Traditional Folk Album.

Before he helped invent folk-rock by starting the Byrds in the mid-'60s, Roger McGuinn concentrated on the former half of that amalgam, strumming acoustic folk tunes along with legions of peers during the early-'60s folk revival. TREASURES FROM THE FOLK DEN finds McGuinn coming full circle as he enters his fifth decade of music. The traditional folk tunes included here are newly recorded versions of ones that were part of McGuinn's online project to preserve this strain of musical history, and he enlisted some of the most renowned folk musicians in the world to help him out.

Pete Seeger's banjo and weathered voice add authenticity to "Alabama Bound." Judy Collins's ever-crystalline voice brings a sparkle to "John Riley," a tune McGuinn once tackled with the Byrds. Relative youngster Eliza Carthy takes the lead with her fiddle on the instrumental "Reel." While the roots of some of these songs lie in Ireland, England and elsewhere, the paradigm approached by McGuinn is the peculiarly American one that captivated musicians and fans alike some 40 years earlier. Most importantly, this is a true "folk" album, in a new milennium where that term is misused more than ever.
