Intimate, anecdotal, and spell-binding, Singing Out offers a
fascinating oral history of the North American folk music revivals
and folk music. Culled from more than 150 interviews recorded from
1976 to 2006, this captivating story spans seven decades and cuts
across a wide swath of generations and perspectives, shedding light
on the musical, political, and social aspects of this movement. The
narrators highlight many of the major folk revival figures,
including Pete Seeger, Bernice Reagon, Phil Ochs, Mary Travers, Don
McLean, Judy Collins, Arlo Guthrie, Ry Cooder, and Holly Near.
Together they tell the stories of such musical groups as the
Composers' Collective, the Almanac Singers, People's Songs, the
Weavers, the New Lost City Ramblers, and the Freedom Singers.
Folklorists, musicians, musicologists, writers, activists, and
aficionados reveal not only what happened during the folk revivals,
but what it meant to those personally and passionately involved.
For everyone who ever picked up a guitar, fiddle, or banjo, this
will be a book to give and cherish. Extensive notes, bibliography,
and discography, plus a photo section.
