Summary

(This text has been automatically translated by Google translate)

The life story of Joan Baez has everything for an exciting DVD. “When I think back to it, I can't believe that it all really happened,” said the frail singer. How Sweet The Sound, which includes an extra CD with some rare recordings, does full justice to that story. Through interviews with fans and close stakeholders (Jesse Jackson, Roger McGuinn, Bob Dylan, Steve Earle) and of course the lead actress herself, the DVD tells about Joan's childhood in a loving family, her rise as uncrowned queen of the folk scene, her prominent role in the American civil rights movement and its intimate friendships with Martin Luther King and Bob Dylan. At Baez, music and politics were inextricably linked and her story is that of both a celebrated singer and a determined political activist. That fascinating fact lifts How Sweet The Sound far above the average music DVD. Unfortunately, Dutch subtitles are missing. (MS)

Originally the folk or regional music handed down from generation to generation, consisting of narrative songs for every state of mind and occasion: love, joy, sorrow, wedding, work, adultery, illness, death, and so on. As a result, they have a wide variety of faces, although in the West they usually refer to the North American and English variants. The dividing lines with blues, country and singer/songwriters are often thin. Folk songs are often so old that the original composer is unknown. In the thirties Alan Lomax and Harry Smith played an important role in the conservation of American folk songs. They went to the countryside to record the old folk songs. In the sixties folk revived on the basis of a young, post-war generation. Pop genres that make use of folk influences are americana, folkrock and folkmetal. The adventurous combination of folk with alternative pop that emerges after 2000 is called 'freakfolk'. more

ArtistBob Dylan

(This text has been automatically translated by Google translate)

Bob Dylan started out as a follower of Woody Guthrie. He imitated the singer of "dust bowl ballads" as faithfully as possible, as much as possible for a "baby boomer" from Hibbing, Minnesota. It didn't take long for Dylan to find his own voice. He was at the forefront of the folk movement of the early 1960s and the later wave of singer / songwriters. Dylan also introduced poetry to pop music. Despite changing his sound, image and even religion, Dylan managed to maintain his unique artistic vision even during periods when his popularity was waning. At the beginning of the 21st century, Dylan recorded a number of albums that, due to their crystallized style and unique worldview, were well received by both the press and the public. more
