Inside Dave Van Ronk is a compilation album by American folk and blues singer Dave Van Ronk, originally released in 1972 on a double LP called Van Ronk. It has subsequently been reissued on CD, the first reissue in 1989.

Contents

The songs in the compilation consist of the 1960s Prestige albums Dave Van Ronk, Folksinger and Inside Dave Van Ronk in their entirety.

Reception

Writing for Allmusic, critic Richie Unterberger wrote of the album "... this is certainly Van Ronk's most enduring work, and indeed one of the few relics of the early-'60s traditional folk boom that holds up well today... One of the few white folkies who could sing acoustic blues without embarrassment, Van Ronk was also an accomplished acoustic guitar picker; instrumentally and vocally, he brought an intensity to his covers that made the songs his own."
