Notes
A sequence of 22 songs by Brecht and Dylan that unite to become a timeless voice speaking out against atrocity--a black boy killed out of bigotry--a girl killed by Nazis for sleeping with a Jew. Their songs express the poet's rage, his despair, his need to speak and to hold up to life the bitter mirror.
