Blind Boy Grunt

Richard Fariña was among the early folk singers in the Greenwich Village scene at the beginning of the 1960’s.  He met and married folksinger Carolyn Hester after they had known each other just 18 days.  Her third album and first for Columbia Records, Carolyn Hester (1961) featured then little-known Bob Dylan on harmonica on several tracks (credited as Blind Boy Grunt).
