This episode features Stuart Markus, Hillary Foxsong, Gerry McKeveny of the folk-rock harmony trio Gathering Time who have just released a new album entitled Old Friends, which is a cover album which features several socially conscious tunes. We discussed the motivation behind the songs selected and the parallels between the 1960s and what is happening now. We also discussed some of the original protest songs that they have previously recorded.
In the episode, we feature portions of album tracks “Get Together’ and “At Seventeen” and play “Turn! Turn! Turn!” in its entirety to conclude the episode. We also feature snippets of their original compositions “God Knows”, “Songs of Hope and Freedom”, “Too Far to Turn Back Now”, “Silver Star” and a few impromptu sung verses of “Crusader”.
