Richard Fariña and Bob Dylan became good friends after they met at those recording sessions, as documented in an excellent overview of the New York folk scene of the early 1960’s by David Hadju called Positively 4th Street: The Lives and Times of Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, Mimi Baez Fariña, and Richard Fariña. This book created quite a stir when it was released in 2001 as it made the case for Richard Fariña being an equal talent with Bob Dylan.
