So in tune with the current class crisis, the Drews truck in from the Valley to deliver a robust updating of their big-hearted embrace of the real proletarian roots of the Country/Western genre.
Their historical survey situates the origin of the music as being drawn from the same well as “hillbilly” and “folk”, written from the perspectives of the working poor...
...but appropriated by the post-War corporate consolidation of broadcast-radio audiences and McCarthy's anti-communism. The music of sharecroppers, coal miners, fierce women, and the downtrodden come together in this cavalcade of musical history, with never-seen-before interviews with folks like Utah Phillips, Hazel Dickens, and Pete Seeger.
PLUS, on 16mm film!: Gene Autry, Joe Maphis, Jim Stafford, Elvis Presley,
and the Ranch Party Gang!
Showtime at 8; Doors at 7:30. Admission is $7.
