They run in the same orbit as Judy Collins, Pete Seeger, The Seekers, The Statler Brothers and Johnny Horton, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Tim Buckley, Peter, Paul and Mary, The Beatles, Shawn Colvin and Richie Furay, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
