[ru] Пакстон, Том

Том Пакстон (Tom Paxton, 31 октября 1937, Чикаго, Иллинойс) — американский автор-исполнитель, один из ведущих представителей фолк-сцены 1960-х годов, оказавший заметное влияние на её развитие. Пакстон, которого (согласно Allmusic) можно считать основным «долгожителем» движения фолк-возрождения, зародившегося в Гринвич Виллидж, был во многом ближе к поколению фолк-исполнителей конца 1950-х годов, таких, как Дэйв ван Ронк, чем к фолкстерам нового десятилетия (Бобу Дилану или Филу Оксу). Но, как Дилан с Оксом (и в отличие от предшественников), Пакстон был активно вовлечён в левое движение и стал автором многих знаменитых песен протеста. С другой стороны, подобно Питу Сигеру (и в отличие от Дилана) Паксон никогда не собирался переходить в мейнстрим и ни разу не взял руки электрогитару[1].
