Tom Paley, Pioneer Of American Folk Music Revival, Dead At 89

"Here, after all, was a man who had worked with those American folk legends Woody Guthrie and Lead Belly, had influenced Bob Dylan, and taught both Ry Cooder and Jerry Garcia.

His final album, recorded with his son Ben, was released two years ago."
