Troubadours & Troublemakers is an examination of American protest music from the beginning of our republic to the rockers of the sixties. It begins with the protest music of the early American settlers and ends with the radical songs of hippies and yippies of the early seventies. In between we survey the music of slaves, abolitionists, soldiers, miners, unionists, wobblies, okies, and folkies. Troubadours & Troublemakers reviews American topical songs from the first revolutionaries to the radical rockers of the late Twentieth Century.This Second Edition contains new and expanded chapters!
