Reviews
Sounds Of Freedom: Musicians On Spirituality And Social Change is a compilation of interviews by John Malkin with a variety of recording artists ranging from a spectrum of musical backgrounds ranging from folk and classical to punk rock and hip-hop. The purpose was to discuss with them their thoughts on spirituality and social change. Enhanced with a foreword by Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh, Sounds of Freedom is enhanced with an accompanying CD. This anthology of discussions on spirituality, politics and music is inherently fascinating as we learn of the musicians personal commitments to peace and justice and how they infuse their inspirations and aspirations into their music and their lives. Sounds Of Freedom is extraordinary reading and enthusiastically recommended for readers with an interest in social justice, personal freedom, and the role of music and the musician in fostering those qualities within the lives of their fans and the communities in which the live and work.
