A prized performance from two American folk legends that came together as kindred spirits. Gibson had laid the foundations for the likes of Paxton, Phil Ochs, David Crosby and Judy Collins in the late 1950s while a new generation would learn from his pen. Roger McGuinn and Fred Neil felt indebted to his service as an inspiring folk figure. Such was the enormity of praise and devotion given to Gibson. Promoting the release of Tom Paxton's Up and Up from 1979 and his latest Paxton Report, Gibson backs up an esteemed repertoire with his own grandiose chunk of wit and depth.

Paxton and Gibson command with an abundance of humour and insight between them, coined with palpable cool. Sadly, a little over a decade later, Gibson succumbed to an illness in 1996, leaving a huge chasm in the field of folk, one reason why this performance makes for an undoubtedly special footnote in modern folk. Engaging, provocative and sincere are three choice words of praise that somehow, still don't reach far enough.
