Book review: The New York neighbourhood that changed the music world

David Browne thoroughly examines all that happened in the artistic scene of Greenwich Village over the course of close to five decades  with a heavy focus on the tumultuous ’60s.

Folk musicians in Washington Square Park in New York may have been what originally drew people to the legendary Greenwich Village music scene in 1960s.
