"Troubadours & Troublemakers is an examination of American protest music from the beginning of our republic to the birth of hip hop. 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, Wobblies, Okies, Folkies and Rockers. Troubadours & Troublemakers reviews American topical songs from the first revolutionaries to the radical rockers of the late Twentieth Century""--Back cover.
