In the 1940s and '50s, Richard DyerBennet (19131991) was among the best known and most respected folk singers in America. Paul O. Jenkins tells, for the first time, the story of DyerBennet, often referred to as the 'TwentiethCentury Minstrel.' DyerBennet's approach to singing sounded almost foreign to many American listeners. The folk artist followed a musical tradition in danger of dying out. The Swede Sven Scholander was the last European proponent of minstrelsy and served as DyerBennet's inspiration after the young singer traveled to Stockholm to meet him one year before Scholander's death.DyerBennet's achievements were many. Nine years after his meeting with Scholander, he became the first solo performer of his kind to appear in Carnegie Hall. This book argues DyerBennet helped pave the way for the folk boom of the mid1950s and early 1960s, finding his influence in the work of Joan Baez, Judy Collins, and many others. It also posits strong evidence that DyerBennet would certainly be much better known today had his career not been interrupted midstream by the anticommunist, Redscare blacklist and its ban on his performances. .
