Notes

Copyright 1977 Paredon Records
The drawing on the cover (and elsewhere) is called Savannah Foomo from "Deep Meaning Comics" (Motor City 1 and Complete Crumb 5, p.125). Artist: Robert Crumb. No credit to this found in the album.

Recorded in 1977 for the "What Now People" series that advocated song as political movement, the songs on this album spans a range of political subjects and issues facing African Americans, American Indians and women, as well as the Vietnam War and revolutions around the world (i.e. the question of Puerto Rico’s independence). The songs feature an array of "activist artists" and vary greatly in genre from folk, to blues to classic Rock and Roll. Each song includes a written preface in the liner notes explaining the political context of the song.
