 Traum first appeared on record at a historic session in late 1962 when a group of young folk musicians, including Bob Dylan, Phil Ochs, Pete Seeger, Peter LaFarge and The Freedom Singers, gathered in the studio at Folkways Records to record an album called "Broadside Ballads, Vol.1".With his group, The New World Singers, Traum cut the first version of "Blowin' in the Wind" to be released (early 1963).
