For an initial primer on '60s protest songs there is an excellent box set
that Rhino Records has recently released:
Phil Ochs-Faerwells & Fantasies.
The set contains three cds of great music and a booklet loaded with
references to the war etc. A perfect starting place. Country Joe & The Fish
is another band to explore.
Seriously listen to The Fugs and if your interested I can help put you in
touch with Ed Sanders and Tuli Kupferberg. Allen Ginsberg's (hard to find) cd
of blues is also an excellent source.
If I can be of any assistance please let me know.
