Kahn,si - Courage - Music CD

"Si Kahn is an organizer, and an activist. He's also a poet, a songwriter, a preservationist, a historian, a documentarian in song. He's a stark realist, and simultaneously an unflinching optimist. The tender reverence he holds for the people whose struggles he has facilitated spills over into his songwriting, keeping their stories alive, connecting US to them - and ultimately, ourselves. This record is like a great meal, or an epic movie. It satisfies on so many levels. There are moments of light and gentle humor, wry wit, soul-searching and questioning, deep longing and poetic lyricism. Musically, the performances sparkle, the acoustic instruments are hooky and add interest, but never overpower the lyric and spirit of the songs." Kathy Matthea.
