"Positively 4th Street is an account of how four young people - Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Mimi Baez Farina, and Richard Farina - gave rise to a modern-day bohemia and created the enduring sound and style of the 1960s.".

"The story of the transformation of folk music from antiquarian pursuit to era-defining art form has never been fully told. Hajdu, whose biography of Billy Strayhorn set a new standard for books about popular music, tells it as the story of a colorful foursome who were drawn together in Greenwich Village in the early 1960s and inspired a generation to gather around them."--BOOK JACKET.
