Biography
Paley was born and raised in New York City, United States. On May 25, 1958, Paley, John Cohen and Mike Seeger played together live on air for John Dildine's weekly folk music radio show on WASH-FM: this was the first appearance of what later became the New Lost City Ramblers. Paley left the band (to be replaced by Tracy Schwarz) and the United States in 1963, when he and his wife Claudia went to live in Sweden. They remained there until 1965 when they moved to England, where Paley had increasingly been working.
Paley, both as a solo artist and as member of the New Lost City Ramblers, has been cited by many as a source and influence, among them Bob Dylan, and The Grateful Dead.
Paley currently lives in London, England. He is still performing and recording, with his collaboration with Bert Deivert, Beware Young Ladies!, being released in 2007.
