Music of the Poetic Singer-Songwriters of the '50s and '60s

In the 1950s and early 1960s, America went from the smooth and sophisticated sounds of Nat King Cole and Frank Sinatra to the more "down home" sounds of Elvis, the Beatles, and Bob Dylan, among others. In this period, the singer-songwriter became a dominant actor on the musical stage. In addition to describing the factors that brought about such changes in music during this period, Roy Martin will perform a few representative songs of some of the best poets (lyricists) of popular music, including Paul Simon, Leonard Cohen, Kris Kristofferson, Jerry Jeff Walker, and John Prine.
