1960’s Folk Music: How the Fire Spread

Release Date:

The 1960’s  were a period of massive social change and tension all over the country – all over North America in fact - because we have to include Canada, too.  The conditions were just right for a whole group of passionate, inspired, and gifted young singers and songwriters to lift their voices.    They came from many different American communities; Jewish immigrants, First Nations people, Americans, Canadians, African Americans, Hispanics, Caucasians, from the cities and from the heartland.  All of them had a message to share with their generation, and a desire to build a better world. This episode is about a number of these artists, and the legacies they’ve left behind.  Many of them are still with us today, and a few of them still create new music.    Welcome to today’s episode, 1960’s Folk Music:  How the Fire Spread.  Artists Featured in this EpisodeFred NeilDave Van RonkKarem DaltonBuffy Sainte-MarieLeonard CohenRamblin' Jack ElliottBrothers & CurryBob DylanSimon & GarfunkelPaul SimonJoni Mitchell
