Painter, illustrator, singer/songwriter, and folk singer Eric Von Schmidt was a spearhead of the folk revival that swept through Cambridge, MA Harvard Square in the early 1960s. When he wasn't hosting late-night jam sessions at his apartment/studio, Von Schmidt was performing Leadbelly-influenced songs in coffeehouses and inspiring several generations of folk-rooted singer/songwriters. He was also one of the first folk artists to be recorded.

An early friend and supporter of Bob Dylan, Von Schmidt was mentioned on Dylan's debut album as the source of the song "Baby, Let Me Follow You Down."

In 1963, Von Schmidt traveled to
England with Dylan and Rolf Cohn, recording an album with Dylan appearing as "Blind Boy Grunt." Von Schmidt's debut album, Folk Blues, rests on the floor in the cover photograph of Dylan's 1965 album, Bringing It All Back Home.
