This new special presents the best performances from early 1960s musical variety series "Hootenanny," featuring Johnny Cash, Judy Collins, the New Christy Minstrels, Jimmie Rodgers, Clara Ward Singers, Trini Lopez, Theodore Bikel, and many major voices in the folk music revival. Compiled by documentary filmmaker and musicologist Joe Lauro, who was responsible for unearthing the only surviving episodes of the original TV series, "Hootenanny" presents a cross section of the wonderful folk, country and gospel performances this legendary series brought into the living rooms of America.
