In the 1960s, Greenwich Village was at the epicenter of the burgeoning folk music boom that was happening around the world, and a young Rory Block had a ringside seat to this evolution. With the release of her new album, Positively 4th Street: A Tribute to Bob Dylan, she gifts the sounds of that era to listeners everywhere.
“It was during the 1960s that I walked into Dad’s sandal shop and saw an artistic looking man sitting and talking with my father. I was aware of who he was: a musician and local resident — I remember the hat, and the youthful face. He was not yet famous, so at that point he was among the many interesting people stopping by.
“After he left, Dad told me something about the conversation. He said that Bob Dylan was a poet first and foremost who really didn’t care for the ‘business’ side of things. His priorities lay in being true to his art. Right away I resonated with the message.” — Rory Block
