Is There Anybody Here?
.jpg){kind=link}
Two hours of politics, hope and frustration, right in time for the day after the election. Singers pushing against the status quo, resisting all that is wrong with this world and fighting for justice.
29 different acts in this show, here is some information about some of them:
Phil Ochs:
While kicking Ochs out of his limousine, Bob Dylan once remarked: "You're not a folk singer. You're a journalist." Today, Ochs is known as one of the most important and prolific protest singers of the 60s-70s, writing hundreds of politically charged tunes in that time frame. Ochs described himself as a 'topical singer'. In 1962, Ochs moved to Greenwich, NY and became a big wheel in the legendary Greenwich folk scene besides the likes of Dylan, Baez, Simon and Garfunkel. Phil Ochs released eight studio/live records in his life. Rehearsals for Retirement was released after the 1968 Democratic National Convention and the ensuing riots, Ochs took the opportunity to put his own tombstone on the cover of the album to suggest that it was such a disgrace to democracy that it killed him. And following record company tradition: putting out a posthumous best of record, Ochs titled his next studio album Greatest Hits.
Eddie "Duke" Edwards:
After working three years as Sun Ra's percussionist, Edwards formed his group The Young Ones. Although the group recorded three albums worth of material, only Is It Too Late? saw release. Later in life, Edwards headed the Louis Armstrong Foundation in New Orleans.
Countries represented: USA, France, England, Scotland, Canada, Argentina, Japan.
