Don Crawford was born the son of a gold mine engineer on the Philippine Island of Luzon approximately one year before Japan's attack on Manila during World War II. He spent his formative years not only as a refugee of war hiding in the jungles of Luzon, but as a prisoner of war, along with his father, mother, and two sisters, in Santo Tomas Internment Camp in Manila. He was nearly four years old when his family was finally liberated. Don believes these early years, the legacy of his parents' sacrifice, and the stories he grew up hearing about these events, shaped his outlook on life. He considers any trials he's encountered throughout his life as opportunities to walk in the footsteps of his parents, to demonstrate a similar courage. This is an account of the daunting circumstances Don's family endured, and their lasting effect on his own legacy.
Folk music of the 1960s and 1970s was a genre that was always shifting and expanding, yet somehow never found room for so many. In the sounds of soul-folk, Black artists like Terry Callier and Linda Lewis began to reclaim their space in the genre, and use it to bring their own traditions to light- the jazz, the blues, the field hollers, the spirituals- and creating something wholly new, wholly theirs, wholly ours. This book traces the growing imprints of soul-folk and how it made its way from folk tradition to subgenre. Along the way, it explores the musicians, albums, and histories that made the genre what it is.
