They run in the same orbit as Joan Baez, Neil Young & Crazy Horse, Van Morrison, Paul Simon and Donovan, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Debbi Peterson, The Beatles, David Bowie, Randy Newman and Counting Crows, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
