| Summary |
"Troubadours & Troublemakers is an examination of American protest music from the beginning of our republic to the rockers of the sixties. Our story begins with the protest music of the early American settlers and ends with the radical songs of hippies and yippies of the 1970s. In between we survey the music of slaves, abolitionists, soldiers, miners, unionists, wobblies, okies, and folkies. Joe Hill, Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Bob Dylan, Phil Ochs, John Lennon, rock'n'roll, and the music of Monterey Pop and Woodstock are all 'links in the chain' of the evolution of American protest music. Troubadours & Troublemakers reviews topical songs from the first American revolutionaries to the radical rockers of the late Twentieth Century. This 2nd Edition contains new and expanded chapters." -- back cover. |
