Don't know who Dave Van Ronk is? If truth be told, neither did I. However, you've probably heard of the people he has inspired like Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell. Van Ronk was an American folk singer who lived in Greenwich Village and eventually was called the "Mayor of MacDougal Street." He was very influential in the '60s coffeehouse movement in Greenwich.The Coen Brothers have a very promising past with music. Their 2000 film O Brother, Where Art Thou?'s soundtrack made it to number one on both the U.S. Billboard's Top Country Chart and Top Soundtracks Chart. According to Empire Online the film will only be loosely based on Van Ronk's life so I'll do my best to keep you updated as more information comes out. Interested?
