Reviews"...The straightforward and earnest nature of much of the music only highlights the singers' unflinching courage, focus, and refreshing lack of cynicism..." - Rating: A, 5 stars out of 5 - "...A grand tribute to a stubborn ideal....Heard next to the greed and plasticity of early-21st-century pop, the conviction and selflessness in these songs sound like a long-dead language...", "...An invaluable insight into the mindset of an era and the bit-part players...who helped navigate it.", "...Compiles Broadside contributions from many key folk music figures....without the precedent of Broadside, there probably wouldn't have been latter-day content-heavy bands like R.E.M, Beck or Son Volt..."

  • Brilliant selection of timeless classics

    A must for all the old lefties out there or those who simply grew up with American folk music as part of their background. Meticulously researched notes presented in a wonderful book format; a labour of love.
