VOICES OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT

VA - Voices Of The Civil Rights Movement (Black American Freedom Songs 1960-1966) [1997] (2 x CD's + Booklet)

This double-CD reissue documents a central aspect of the cultural environment of the Civil Rights Movement, acknowledging songs as the language that focused people's energy. These 43 tracks are a series of musical images, of a people in conversation about their determination to be free. Many of the songs were recorded live in mass meetings held in churches, where people from different life experiences, predominantly black, with a few white supporters, came together in a common struggle. These freedom songs draw from spirituals, gospel, rhythm and blues, football chants, blues and calypso forms. The enclosed booklet written by Bernice Johnson Reagon provides rare historic photographs along with the powerful story of African American musical culture and its role in the Civil Rights Movement. "The music of the spirit with the history of the flesh."(New York Daily News)

This highly sought-after collection includes rare recordings by Fannie Lou Hamer (Go Tell It on the Mountain), Betty Mae Fikes, the SNCC Freedom Singers, Willie Peacock and other activists. More than two hours of Blues, Gospel, Caltpso, etc.  This 2CD collection of movement voices preserved from field performances is particulary outstanding not only in its quality but in its authenticity. The voices of the SNCC Freedom Singers and important movement figures, among them Mrs. Famie Lou Hamer, Holis Watkins, Sam Block, Bernice Johnson, Cordel Reagon, and many more, make this a collection to be prized and played again and again. This is an amazing collection of Civil Rights songs. It is like listening to history. This collection of music will bring back memories to the older generations and introduce younger people to voices from the past. (Amazon)
