But, in the early 1960s and throughout the decade, a new wave of writers and performers inspired by the folk music revival of the 1950s created socially aware and deeply personal songs that spoke to a generation like never before. These writers—Bob Dylan, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Janis Ian, and Phil Ochs, to name a few—changed the folk repertoire from traditional songs to songs sprung from personal, contemporary experiences and the nation's headlines, raising the level of political self-expression to high art. Message and music merged and mirrored society. In Music + Revolution: Greenwich Village in the 1960s, Richard Barone tells this freewheelin' historical narrative, peppered with personal stories and insights from those who were there, celebrating the lasting legacy of this pivotal decade with stories behind songs that resonate just as strongly today. “As you wander through Richard Barone’s excellent telling of the astounding events that took place in Greenwich Village from 1960 to 1969, remember that each folk and blues singer you meet, the unknown and the well-known, all fell under the spell of a very small community, which still retains to this day its village dimensions. Breathe in the atmosphere of where it all began.” —Donovan “During the 1960s folk scene in Greenwich Village, we propelled a renaissance in civil rights, art, and music. This vibrant narrative evokes that time, painting a vivid landscape for us and generations of readers to come.” —Carolyn Hester “Greenwich Village is not only the stomping ground of songwriter Richard Barone but also his creative muse. His account Music + Revolution on the Village folk scene in the 1960s is a lovely companion to his album Sorrows and Promises, providing us sketches of memorable characters and giving us insight into the sights and sounds of the famed Manhattan neighborhood.” —Stephen Petrus, co-author of Folk City: New York and the American Folk Music Revival “... A lively, irresistible read – and a surprising one, too. Richard is not following a literary formula here. He’s inventing one.” —Anthony DeCurtis Foreword by Anthony DeCurtis Photography by David Gahr Book design by Roger Gorman, Reiner Design Published by Backbeat Books.
