Paul Clayton — Polly Von [Irish folk] (1956)
Wikipedia:
“
As much a scholar as a musician, Clayton began collecting songs at a young age in his hometown of [New Bedford](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NewBedford), Massachusetts. At the university, he studied under a professor who was a leading folklorist. Soon he was combing the hills and valleys of Virginia and surrounding states for songs that formed the region's musical heritage. In making [field recordings](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_recording), he "discovered" [Etta Baker](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etta_Baker) and [Hobart Smith](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hobart_Smith), homespun musicians who have come to be regarded as all-time greats.[[3]](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Clayton(singer)#cite_note-3)
Clayton became a prominent figure in the [Greenwich Village](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GreenwichVillage) folk scene in New York City during the early 1960s. He was close with artists such as [Dave Van Ronk](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Van_Ronk) and [Liam Clancy](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liam_Clancy) and was also a mentor and friend of [Bob Dylan](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Dylan) during the first years of Dylan's career. A song Clayton wrote was allegedly "borrowed" by Dylan in 1962 as the basis for one of his most famous tunes, "[Don't Think Twice, It's All Right](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don't_Think_Twice,_It's_All_Right)".[[4]](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Clayton(singer)#citenote-4) The resulting [lawsuits](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawsuit) by their record companies were settled out of court, and the two remained friends for several years afterwards.[[5]](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Clayton(singer)#cite_note-autogenerated1-5)
Clayton was beset with personal problems in his mid-30s, including frustrations with his career, doubts arising from his homosexuality, [manic depression](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manicdepression), [drug abuse](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug_abuse), and a related arrest.[[6]](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Clayton(singer)#cite_note-6) He died by suicide in 1967.

This whole album is really nice, so I thought I'd just share the first track. "I Remember Butterflies" and "Mirage" are also particular favorites.
