Protest Songs - Best Anti-War Protest Songs. American folk music is rich with political commentary and protest songs.
Because of the folk music revival in the middle of the 20th Century - and the socio-political climate in America in the 1950s and '60s (the civil rights movement, the Vietnam War era, etc.) many people these days conflate American folk music with political commentary. But, if you consider the entire tradition of American folk music, it's clear that folk songs cover topics ranging from historical events to songs about food and cars, sex and money, and of course plenty of heartbreak and death.
