|
| In the early 1960s the magazine Broadside was dedicated to publishing the lyrics to and articles about what were then known as protest songs, part of a long tradition in folk. These addressed, among other topics: war, accepted social mores, racism, the environment, social injustice, and the struggles of workers and immigrants. Bob Dylan, Phil Ochs, Malvina Reynolds and more got their first exposure from Broadside. |
|
| BEST OF BROADSIDE documents a non-commercial folk movement (some might call it underground) that addressed the aforementioned topics where popular media did not. The spectrum of styles is broad as American music itself: the deceptively agreeable Phil Ochs, Dylan (known here as "Blind Boy Grunt"), and Janis Ian; the passionate blues-drenched gospel of Reverend Frederick Douglas Kirkpatrick; the raunchy folk-rock of the Fugs (the proto-punk "Kill For Peace"); and the embryonic soul sounds of the Human Condition and Nina Simone. For the sheer scope represented here, BEST OF BROADSIDE is essential for the devotee of American folk music and its part in the tumultuous history of the '60s. |
