Who does political folk now?
Sean Gilley,0B206,,2336
I believe someone else asked about people similar to Phil Ochs. I've been
meaning to ask this for a while..
Who is doing (and recording) political folk now?
I've been listening to people like Phil, Tom Paxton, Pete Seeger for years,
but as Tom and Pete get older, they're producing fewer albums. Not having
a lot of cash to spend experimenting, I'm interested in what other more
current artists are doing political folk? I use the word "folk" loosely
-- I consider much of the "Washington Squares" music to be folk, though
I know others would not.
Here's a list, off the top of my head, of people, current or not, that I
enjoy and know have done some political music:
Peter, Paul, and Mary
Pete Seeger
Tom Paxton
Chad Mitchell Trio
Kingston Trio
Phil Ochs
Washington Squares
Thanks,
Sean.

Thanks for setting me up for yet another plug of some of my favorite
Canadian singer-songwriters (and others)!
For something like fifteen years, Nancy White provided hard-hitting
politcal satire as part of the CBC "Sunday Morning" show. She has
written many gems, but her most political are among the best of this
genre. She has been referred to as "The Tom Paxton of Canada."
I am struggling to get some of her more serious music back in
print...and it's a long, hard struggle. These two early 80's albums
are out of print.
Some of her real gems in the political/social commentary are:
From "Sort of Political"
Sewing Machines - about immigrant-fueled sweat shops
Graciela - about a young girl forced into prostitution
Hymn to Oscar Romero
Something in the Wind/No Thanks - anti-nuclear
Victor Jara Presente - a stunning memorial
Good Girl - about standing up for one's rights
Desaparecidos - see below
No Hot Cargo - Commemorates a longshoreman's strike
From "Unexpected"
Mrs. Linda -A True Story of Social Worker Burnout
Desaparecidos -A Lament For The Disappeared People Of Argentina,
El Salvador, Chile, Uruguay, Guatemala, etc.; covered
by Priscilla Herdman on "Seasons of Change"
Later, Nancy turned more satirical. One of her best collections of
that genre is available as "Pumping Irony."
Perhaps her best album, especially if you're a parent (as I am), is
"Momnipotent...songs for weary parents." But it's not really
political...it's more of a silvery support group!
----------------
Bob Bossin, one of the two cofounders of Stringband in Canada, has an
in-print CD, "Gabriola V0R 1X0" (those last six characters are the
postal code). One of the best and most political songs on the album is
"Sulphur Passage" which became the rallying song to stop the logging
of the old-growth Clayoquot forest. Also on that album is "Cleaning Up
The Oil" and an old favorite from the Stringband days, "The Secret of
Life According to Satchel Paige"
----------------
The other founding partner of Stringband, Marie-Lynn Hammond recorded
an album in the early '90's that is feminist-political, "Black & White
... and shades of grey." An environmental song from that album,
"Temagami Round," is another protest against old-growth logging. This
is written about the same area in Ontario that spawned Eileen McGann's
"Requiem for the Giant Trees" which was covered on the first
Herdman-Hills-Mangsen album, "Voices."
On "Improptu," Marie-Lynn has included "Radiation" which is
anti-nuclear power. Two of Marie-Lynn's most hard-hitting
anti-military songs are "Down on the Station," and "Flying/Spring of
'44," the latter being one of her absolutely finest songs.
"Flying/Spring of '44" should be back in print on CD this year--as I'm
undertaking the re-release myself.
---------------
Going back to the Stringband days with Bob and Marie-Lynn (these songs
are available on a cassette), there's Mrs. Murphy about the
agri-business takeover of the family farm, a rather controversial song
called, "Show Us The Length" which documents a true event in
California and is against the meathook aspects of beauty contests.
---------------
The Austin Lounge Lizards do satirical-political songs like "Jesus
Loves Me but he can't stand you." and "Acid Rain," but I'm not yet an
Austin Lounge Lizards expert.
---------------
Continuing the nuclear themes, Chicago-area singer-songwriter Kristin
Lems has a song on her CD,"Upbeat!" called "Chernobyl." She also has
some political songs on her LPs, but not yet released on CD.
---------------
One other satirical/political group comes to mind...the Capitol Steps,
but I don't know much about them other than a few TV specials.
---------------
Information about all of these artists is available at my web site (oh
gosh, I don't have a link yet to the Austin Lounge Lizards), and in
fact both Nancy White and Marie-Lynn Hammond are featured at my web
site.
Cheers and happy listening!

Political folk music? Tall order in these days of whiny, wealthy
self-indulgent singer-songwriter brats. Still, a subject near and dear to my
heart. Here's some excellent suggestions: First, try some of the Brits: Leon
Rosselson, Roy Bailey, Dick Gaughan. Each of these performers has his own
distinctive vision, which might be somewhat more attuned to worldly issues
North Americans pay little or no attention to. Rosselson's been around since
the early 60s; he's wordy but utterly brilliant-- very biting and satirical;
Bailey (beautifully) interprets other people's material and still sings like
an angel after all these years (he recorded and toured off & on with Leon
for a long time-- and he sang Leon's material better than anyone, including
Leon himself); he has one of the purest non-operatic tenors I've ever heard.
Gaughan is one of the finest guitarists on the planet and sings movingly of
human concerns filtered through his distinctly Scottish perspective-- he
writes his own stuff and also sings traditional and contemporary songs, the
scots stuff like Hamish Henderson's "Freedom-Come-All-Ye" in an occasionally
incomprehensible brogue. See him live if you possibly can (he's touring in
N.A. this summer). He is simply one of the world's great live performers.
Besides being currently active and therefore very much of contemporary
relevance, unlike most of the ancient names on your list (Seeger's the
oldest of that bunch but still the best), these three are to '50s-rooted
folk-pop groups like the Chad Mitchell Trio what gold leaf is to tinfoil in
terms of depth, quality, skill, intelligence and vision. If you can't find
any of these artists in your local CD emporium, do some Web searches. They
won't be hard to track down. If you live in Canada (or even if you don't)
try Festival Distribution Inc. in Vancouver (for Rosselson-- whose stuff can
be hard to find on this side of the pond-- & Bailey). Festival is online as
well. Or try some of the better on-line CD vendors, if you must.
And don't forget another Scot, Ewan MacColl, who's been dead for a few years
but remains one of the finest political songwriters and singers to ever walk
the earth. He made many albums during his long career, often with his wife
Peggy Seeger, who's still very much with us and is a gifted songwriter in
her own right-- ever heard "The Engineer Song"?-- as well as a hell of a
banjo player.
There are two Americans you should immediately check out: Si Kahn, a union
organizer from (I think) North Carolina and a brilliant songwriter and
singer. Nothing spectacular, but his songs (some of which have become
standards; many have been recorded and/or performed by other artists), like
"Gone Gonna Rise Again", are quietly brilliant and often extraordinary
powerful. They deal with the politics of human relations as much as with
issues. He's done about a dozen albums since his first in 1974. The other
artist I direct you to is, of course, Bruce "U. Utah" Phillips, last heir of
the Joe Hill tradition and IWW organizer, storyteller, humorist, songwriter
and singer extraordinaire. Bruce has been suffering from poor health for a
number of years now but rumour has it he's doing better these days, and
indeed he just released his second collaborative album with Ani DeFranco:
"Fellow Workers". I have my doubts about the value of Ani's musical
contributions to these albums, but anything that gets Bruce heard is fine by
me. If you believe in the power of music to effect positive social change,
check Phillips out. He's also released half-a-dozen solo albums on a variety
of labels in the last 20+ years; some are more easily found than others; all
are well worth owning. If you want to hear old picket-line classics like
"The Preacher and the Slave", "Dump the Bosses Off Your Back", or "Bread and
Roses" the way they were meant to be sung, Bruce is your man; but he's also
able to comment on today's issues (some of which haven't changed much in 80
years) with as much wisdom, insight and humour as anyone you will ever hear.
And he also writes and sings his own material-- beautifully (like Kahn, a
number of Bruce's songs-- going back to the 60s-- have become folkie
classics). Phillips is in some danger of inheriting the "grand old man of
political folk music" sobriquet from the aging Seeger, a prospect which
would almost certainly horrify Bruce (he's only in his 60s, after all...).
He's another one you definitely should see live.
Finally, there's two younger artists who you need to hear; Billy Bragg and
Dan Bern. Bragg's another Brit, comes from a rock & roll/punk sensibility,
has been around since the early 80s-- brilliant songwriter, does his own
material almost exclusively-- used to perform solo on electric guitar but
now generally works with a band. Perhaos not entirely coincidentally, his
albums have been somewhat uneven in recent years. Last year he released an
album of previously unrecorded Woody Guthrie songs to wide acclaim. Most of
his songs are about personal politics rather than politics of the state.
Bern's another semi-punk; his songs, especially when performed live, can be
aggressive and confrontational- and at times unnervingly personal. He's an
edgy, fascinating young performer and it will be interesting to see where he
goes from here. He's signed to a major label-- Columbia-- so who knows if
he'll be able to retain his integrity. A couple of years ago at a folk
festival I saw him perform a song he'd written about the Oklahoma City
bombing; set to the tune of Woody Guthrie's "The Great Dust Storm", it was a
riveting performance and the finest new "political" song I've heard in at
least ten years. Keep your eye on this guy.
If you want information on possible upcoming tour dates for any of these
performers, get a copy of "Dirty Linen" magazine (or check their website)
and check out the comprehensive section in each issue which exhaustively
lists this information.
There are other names I could probably mention, but these are among the best
of the current crop, though some might disagree-- god knows why. You will
undoubtedly find most of these artists to be deeper and more challenging
than much of what you're evidently used to (certainly I don't think any of
them has ever had a top 40 hit), but growth, change and learning are
positive things, I think. Feel free to e-mail me if you want further info.
And welcome to the 90s (hell, the 80s), folk music-wise (just in time,
too...). Where on earth ya been hiding all this time??

but often enough to be included (as Steve said):
Odetta
Chris Williamson
Buffy St. Marie
Sweet Honey in the Rock
John Trudell (solo & with the Graffitti Band)
Floyd Westerman
Luka Bloom
Christy Moore
Dougie MacLean
Capercaillie
Sinead O'Connor
Bruce Cockburn
Ani de Franco
Suzanne Vega
Indigo Girls
Robbie Robertson
This list could go on and on...and then there are many artists who don't
usually sing political songs, but who have been very politically active,
particularly New Left & post-New Left (?!?) <:-O musicians. Most of the
above musicians sing only in English, althought there are some exceptions
(Capercaillie, some of the newer stuff by Robbie Robertson, etc.) There
is a whole world of music beyond the English language too, don't forget!
Its difficult to draw a line between a political "folk" musician, and a
musician who's songs reflect and/or comment upon political, social and
cultural conditions of their day. There are those who will suggest that
folk music isn't political of course. Or that personal political
statements aren't valid. I tend to use a broad brush with this sort of
thing, as I hate the "purist" arguments about whether an artist is
political enough, folk enough or traditional enough. For me, if the
artist has the ability to put complex, difficult and troublesome thoughts
about the human condition into song, its enough for me! So I guess
that's the standard I use.
While some of the above artists wouldn't be favorites of mine, I've
included them because I think their body of work to date reflects a well
informed political sensitivity, done to a high professional standard of
musicianship (even if it ain't my cup of tea).
Despite the perpetual claims that so-called "political" music is dead
and/or bad music, in all my years of music loving, I've *never* found
that to be the case. I think more and more songwriters are attempting to
put their complex lived experiences into the lyrics, and the lyrics
*and* music are getting better and better all the time. I believe
strongly there is still a place for well written simple songs, including
traditional songs. But I believe just as strongly that as our world
becomes more complex, our music needs to reflect that world too.
For me, some of the best stuff coming out is from artists who's work
seamlessly and timelessly blends traditional values and sensibilities
with contemporary ones, and does it musically and lyrically without
suffering from the worst excesses of trite, banal lyrics
and/or techno-glam obsessions the commercial music business is forcing on
*all* forms of music.
I would also include music genres like reggae, gospel (trad more than
contemporary though), some spoken word stuff (i.e. some hip-hop, some
rap, some Nuyorican Poets type stuff) as fitting the conventional
definitions of both folk and political music, poetry and oratory. But
like Frank says, my vision of what constitutes folk/trad music is ah...a
bit unique shall we say? ;-)
Keep yer ear to the ground, and you'll find your way to the music you
need to hear!

Always wanting English monoglots to stretch their awareness a bit, I
meant to also mention Nueva Cancion--Latin American New Song in my other
post. This is a beautiful genre of folk music blended with contemporary
music, which has its roots in the South and Central American liberation
movements of the 1960s and later, sung mostly in Spanish. However, there
is some New Song music sung in English by Latin American immigrants and
their descendants here in the US too. I've not been following this genre
of music in recent years, so I don't know who the newer players are, but
look for some of these artists:
Inti Illimani
Violetta Parra
Victor Jara
Sabia
Rueben Blades--didn't he do some Nueva Cancion stuff?
These are bigger name artists (though Sabia's stuff is not easy to come
by from what folks here have said in recent years) you should be able to
find some material by in stores, libraries, etc.
Janet Ryan
JesiAna
"Music of Healing," "There Were Roses," and "Daughters and Sons" are up there
with the best of the genre. His brother, Colum Sands, also, fits into this
group with "Ceasefire," "The March Ditch," and "Whatever You Say, Say Nothing."
They have also recorded with their family some collections (recently released
on CD) that contain songs that are very political in nature. Good songwriters,
good performers, both of them.

I'm a bit of a heretic on this one but I believe that all folk music
is political. Politics comes with the species. There are very few
folk songs that are not protest songs in some manner. The attempt to
de-politicize folk songs is as impossible as it is to separate the
songs from the singers. Very few songs are desseminated without some
moral point-of-view which could easilly be interpreted generally as
making a political case. I think that this is what art does although
I agree with Joseph Campbell that art created to be a political
statement may be not great art. But great art in my view is
political. (Didn't say whose or which politics, though).

Greetings:
I am glad you mentioned this. I have worked with some young hip-hop
musicians, introducing them to the music of the North American leftist
political tradition from Joe Hill through Woody Guthrie to Phil Ochs --
and literally introducing them to Pete Seeger. I have also helped them
get gigs such as the Sloop Clearwater Pumpkin Sail. Quite frankly I am
quite excited by a lot of the young people's political music that is
coming out of many traditions these days, including hip-hop, bomba y
plena, neo=beat poetry with musical accompaniment, etc. Yes, much of it
is raw and unsophisticated, but it is so expressive and powerful. The
polish will come later!
Oh, yes, I played the Nuyorican Poets Cafe once back in December 1997
when I was still working with Naomi Melendez. We did a couple of songs
we wrote ourselves, including...:
SPIRIT IN MY SOUL
Words: Naomi Melendez & Stephen L. Suffet © 1997, 1999
Tune adapted from "Bamboo" (Bahamian song popularized by Dave Van Ronk)
We fight today for freedom,
We fight today for freedom,
We fight today for freedom,
We fight today for free--dom.
Oh, oh, freedom!

It also make a fine background number over which to lay down a rhyme,
especially the last four lines of the stanza with the English word in
the low part and the Spanish in a long meter high harmony above it. Try
improvising with _three_ parts on the music if possible.

some items that I intended to.
I did not mention fully that Priscilla Herdman's album "Seasons of
Change" is completely political--includes "Deportees/Plane Wreck at
Los Gatos." and a killer song that she co-wrote with Bruce (Utah)
Phillips, "Rice and Beans."
Also, I see that Stephen Suffet beat me to mentioning Tish Hinojosa,
but since I've been pointing out specific songs, I'd like to mention
two, "Something in the Rain" is perhaps her most moving work and is
about pesticides and farm workers. "Las Marias" is also a very strong
political song about the underclass.
Oh, and the mention of Violeta Parra brings up her classic, "Gracias A
La Vida" which has been recorded by several of the artists that I've
mentioned including Tish Hinojosa and Nancy White--Nancy has an
authorized mostly-English translation of it on her latest album,
"Gaelic Envy."
Cheers,
JesiAna
one-woman show, "Fire in the Rain, Singer in the Storm," which was really my
introduction to her work. She is a terrific performer and songwriter. As far as
I know, she is still performing.
I'm glad Utah Phillips was mentioned; he's outstanding. Likewise Eric Bogle.

borderline folk-rock but less so than Mellencamp et.al. His album
WELCOME TO THE CRUEL WORLD ('94) is interesting folk-blues-rock along
the lines of Taj Mahal perhaps. He gets a little more psychedelic with
subsequent albums.

In a list of "political" folk singers one must not overlook that north
Brit, Vinn Garbutt. I personally despise his anti-abortion messages, but
there is no denying that he is a brilliant, and very political, folk
singer. And a very strange egg.

I couldn't let this thread go by without adding the name of John McCutcheon.
He has collaborated frequently with Si Kahn and in addition written some great
songs about farmers & workers and even oil spills. A couple others to mention
are Larry Long ( although I am not sure he has recorded much recently) and a
wildly satirical group The Formen who had a couple of CDs and seem to have
disappeared. The Capitol Steps have a web site and put out a new recording in
the fall each year with some of the highlights of the previous year. Much of
it is very inventive parodies even if it might not be folk music. Last year
events in the USA moved so fast around Washington that much of the recording
was obviously dated by the time it was released.

and really not all that similar to Phil Ochs...
Michelle Shocked - usually some political material,
with a great folk voice.
Rory McLeod - closest voice comparison I can think of is
Billy Bragg, but not quite. His "Angry Love" record
remains one of my favorites, more recent discs seem to
have gone a little lovestruck - good news for the artist,
I guess, but I liked the vitriol of songs like "Criminals
of Hunger."
A couple of more-or-less recent favorite discs are compilations of
various artists around a particular politically-hot theme:
- Dead Man Walking "soundtrack" (as opposed to the "score"
disc) - some songs written for the film, others solicited
specifically for the album. Not all are folk artists -
Patti Smith, Tom Waits, but just about all are good
thought-provoking songs.
- Lit From Within, a fundraiser for rape crisis centers in
Canada, featuring a selection of songs and spoken word
pieces by different artists including Sarah McLachlan,
Crash Vegas and Meryn Cadell, many focusing on violence
against women.
I'm sometimes leery of theme/cause albums that just consist
of already-popular songs being contributed that don't really
say anything about the issue in question, but these two are
different. Hey, another thread?

Another Australian singer-songwriter, not as well-known, is Peter Hicks.
His CD, The Bottom Line, reminds me a lot of early Phil Ochs.
A semi-Australian is Alistair Hulett. Now back in the UK & working with
Dave Swarbrick, Hulett is way out there, politically, and just brilliant.
