Protesting Songs (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781326124335)

Protesting Songs are an area of music that has been around for hundreds of years. It might have got more famous back in the 1960s, but such songs were here before then and many are still here now. Jane and Mike (The Jane and Mike Band) have been using such material since they first got together in 1982. In this book they offer some of their own songs, as well as links to many others, out there on the internet. Also, they provide a fascinating history of the tradition, from its earliest beginnings to the present day. They also offer background on how to start writing your own Protesting Songs, get them noticed and maybe even get paid for your efforts This isn't a specialist book, though, aimed only at musicians and song writers; it's also interesting to anyone who listens to modern music, especially if it's in a Folk style - which a lot of popular music these days is. Most of all, Jane has included words to some of her own most well-known songs, as well as links to where you can see them on video and audio.
