Tom Paxton – The Best of Tom Paxton (The Elektra Years)
Tom Paxton writes superb songs; he has the ability to write complete simplicity. His voice is just like a singing grandfather and one of his songs that I love is called ‘Rambling Boy’.

I’ll listen to this before going to bed. The day is done, the things that you've feared never happened. His way of singing is easy, you can always depend on Tom Paxton and you know what you're going to get with Tom Paxton: a simple song as easy to understand that deals with the little nitty-gritty of life.
