The Folkswingers United States
Biography
Jim Dickson called the group The Folkswingers and they recorded folk and bluegrass songs to cash-in on the current trends. Basically they kept the name for this 1966 album and tried to tackle another musical trend. It's interesting to note that World Pacific actually put out a Ravi Shankar sitar album in 1965. Raga Rock unashamedly cashed in on the success of Ravi Shankar and the emerging use of the sitar in Western pop/rock (Beatles, Stones, Byrds)
