Rock Troubadours (US, 70s): CSNY, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, Van Morrison, Roy Harper

This programme is held in Hungarian.

At the turn of the 1960s and 1970s, a new generation of rock troubadours appeared on the scene. The rebellious, openly and effectively political rock trend was primarily continued by Crosby, Stills & Nash, Neil Young, and Joni Mitchell, while other singer-songwriters such as Leonard Cohen and former Them singer Van Morrison also defined the era. In England, Roy Harper, Nick Drake, and Cat Stevens made their best albums at this time, while in the United States, Paul Simon, James Taylor, and Tim Buckley did the same. They will be the subject of the next lecture at the Rock and Roll Free University.
