and its history. The 52 minute film film includes unique archival footage and folk music from the 1960s. Though the movie was
produced in Sweden in 1989, this release marks its de but in the USA.Loaded with great music, the film is a won-
derful look into the New York Folk scene in the late 1950s. Israel (Izzy) Young opened his store “The
Folklore Center” in 1957, as a bookstore, a performance venue and a place for musicians and poets (like Allen Ginsberg) to hand out. When rents in New York began to skyrocket in 1974, Young moved to Sweden and re-es- tablished his Folklore Center there. Highlights of the film include:
Allen Ginsberg singing his “Father Death Blues;” Tuli Kuperberg singing a song in his apartment and fellow Fugs member Ed Sanders reading a poem; A visit to Pete Seeger’s home in Beacon, NY where Pete talks and sings two full songs; Young visiting Mayor Ed Koch; the opening scene, as Eric Bibb singing “Talking Folklore Center,” a song that Bob Dylan wrote. Izzy Young: Talking Folklore Center is es-
sential viewing for folk music lovers nostalgic for those beatnik days, or for anyone inter- ested in a pivotal time in music history.

“I called [Duane] up and asked him what he was doing and he said nothing. I asked him if he’d play some shows with me, and he said “Yeah! Delaney, I’ve always wanted to play with you.” I said, “Well I’ve always loved your playing.” Be- fore I knew it he was at my house. From then on, The All- man Brothers would be on tour and they’d be looking for Duane and he’d be out here on tour with me. (Laughs) He’d call me from the airport and say hey bro, can you come pick me up? I’m here.” -Delaney Bramlett on how he met Duane Allman, In- terview with Michael Buffalo, Spring, 2008
