Speak Up! - Fall 2016

Speak Up! - Fall 2016

$17.00
*EXTRA SHIPPING CHARGES WILL BE APPLIED TO INTERNATIONAL ORDERS
 

“Speak Up!” digs into the long tradition of roots music as a voice for the voiceless, a tool for social change, and a universal language. The issue contains essays by artists, who have written about how they’ve used music to speak up – for themselves, for others, and for issues that concern us all. There’s a deep exploration of race in country music, a history of music programs in prisons, a conversation with John Prine about how his story-songs have changed minds, and retrospectives about how speaking up cost artists like the Weavers and the Dixie Chicks a large portion of their audience.
