The record
Folk-blues with topical teeth -- 'Kennedy Blues,' 'Edward Teller,' 'Joshua Gone Barbados' -- sung by Eric Von Schmidt over his own guitar, with Geoff Muldaur adding second guitar and harmony vocals and Mel Lyman's harmonica cutting across the top. Samuel B. Charters produced. Eleven songs on Prestige, 1965, and 'Acne' confirms the humor survived the seriousness.
