Protest songs have been around for generations, from "I Didn't Raise My Boy To Be A Soldier" (#1 in 1915) to the ‘60s Pete Seeger, Bob Dylan, Phil Ochs, Tom Paxton, Peter Paul & Mary, The Beatles and Joan Baez. As media consolidation has made protest less visible, independent composers continue to grace these times with thoughtful and inspiring songs.
