THE STORY OF PUNK ROCK IN THE 60S (Pt. 15) by Greg Shaw As the clock ticket toward 1965, the folk-rock option became Americas best riposte to the British onslaught. The folkies, who had dropped out of rocknroll in 1959 when it got lame, had seen Dylan go electric at the Newport Folk Festival and were now ready for their boot heels to be wanderin back. In California, maturing surfers Brian Wilson, Jan Berry, Gary Usher, P.F Sloan, and Steve Barri, began to evolve a folk-based, highly orchestrated style of pop that was beyond the experience of anyone born in the U. K. (wneh The Beach Boys released Pet Sounds in 1966, The Beatles -then at work on Sgt. Peppers - had the wind knocked right out of their sails...). The Mojo Men, The Dovers, The Palace Guard, The Merry-Go-Round, and Lyme & Cybelle typify this style.
