Songs of Protest

 Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: A lot of good music protesting the Vietnam War. I was over there ( 4 tours) when I first heard this album. I liked it then and I still like it today.

Back to the 60's and 70's

 Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: After going to a party and remembering some of the great songs from the Protest Era around the Vietnam war, I bought this album. I was looking for songs from County Joe and the Fish and from others....I had forwotten the great artists like Manfred Mann and Donovon.

I loved these songs....we need new singer songwriters to capture and record the current protest....which goes largely unhead.

A complete waste of time and money

 Album Rating: (1 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: One star is far too generous. This CD obviously was cobbled together from someone's old tapes, complete with audible hiss. The selections are all downhill after Eve of Destruction and Universal Soldier. Sonny without Cher? Who ever heard of that? Who can listen to that?

Almost Good

 Album Rating: (3 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: My main complaint about this disk is that Hedgehoppers Anonymous song "It's Good News Week" is an abridged version. I haven't heard the long version since the WVVX (a Chicago-area FM station) dropped its "oldies" format in the early 1980s. Surely Rhino could have tracked down the long version.

Otherwise, this is a nice period piece

The Sixties Weren't Just About Peace And Love

 Album Rating: (4 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: As a child of the Sixties, I have a very strong emotional connection to these songs and as such find this a very enjoyable collection. If, however, you were to unearth these songs from a time capsule and listen to them for the first time thirty-plus years after they were first recorded, you might wonder what the fuss is all about. Certainly some of these songs were of the moment. To use an old cliche: You had to be there. After all, at age 30, Sonny Bono was a bit long in the tooth to play the angry young man. And "It's Good News Week" sounds more comical than biting satire.

But many of these songs retain their potency. Certainly, the carnival sound of "The 'Fish' Cheer/I Feel Like I'm Fixin'-To-Die Rag" is the perfect antithesis of the brutality of the Vietnam War. The Rascal's "People Got To Be Free" evokes John Lennon's sentiment that "All You Need Is Love." The Kingston Trio's version of "Where Have All the Flowers Gone" is a sad reminder of the price to be paid for war. Dion's "Abraham, Martin And John" still gives me chills. The one really glaring omission from this set is Dylan's "Masters of War." Only Edwin Starr's "War" comes close to matching Dylan's outrage.

If you need to remind yourself that the Sixties weren't all peace and love, this collection does a more than adequate job of showcasing the protest genre. RECOMMENDED
