Joel and Ethan Coen's new movie about the Greenwich Village folk scene of the early 1960s,
Inside Llewyn Davis, is loosely based on the life of Dave Van Ronk. The
New York Times has an article about the connections:
For a Village Troubadour, a Late Encore: The Singer Who Inspired Coen Brothers’ New Film
The library has the source material, Van Ronk's memoir written with Elijah Wald,
The Mayor of MacDougal Street (
ML420.V37 M3 2005).
We also have
CDs by Van Ronk, including
Inside Dave Van Ronk (
CD 11978), that inspired the Coen brothers' movie title, and
two method books on fingerstyle guitar.
