Bob Dylan Project

[DesolationRow]

I have somewhat of a dilemma on a school project. My project is a political music compilation CD, focusing on segregation and the Jim Crowe Laws. Now, Bob Dylan fits the bill perfectly for political music, but I am unsure if I should only include one artist. When I asked the teacher, i received the lovely sardonic remark of "What do YOU think is the right choice?" So, opinions would be a great help, and maybe some recommendations on political music of that era (?)

Use 'Blackbird' as well.

Well it depends on what you mean by "that era" Bob Dylan was popular for a couple different era's of protest music. Though all that aside if I were doing a project on Dylan and needed another political person on my paper I would probally use Joan Baez. She was a folk protest artist like Dylan, and preformed with him on a couple of occasions and covered his songs, helping his career.

I would use more than one, to be on the safe side.

You have alot of choices from "that era" to put alongside Dylan: Lennon, Fogerty, Ritchie Havens, Neil Young, Country Joe MacDonald.
