Music legend Alix Dobkin chronicles for the first time her rise to fame as the first artist to record an openly lesbian album in 1973. She also talks about growing up in a Communist family and joining the Party at the height of the McCarthy witch hunts. Dobkin discusses her influences, such as Lead Belly and Pete Seeger, entering the burgeoning folk music scene of Greenwich Village and meeting the up-and-coming Bob Dylan, Bill Cosby and John Sebastian. Rich in period detail, storytelling and outspoken politics, this is essential reading for lovers of music and history. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

The second half of the book, once Alix graduates from college and starts to enter the folk music world, starts to become less about Alix and more about the scene she finds herself in. There's a lot of descriptions about the clubs in New York City and all the folk musicians that pass through them. Politics are hardly mentioned and life is seemingly about describing other people and her married life.
Just as things turn interesting in the 1970s, when she starts to become active in the feminist movement, the book ends. It seems like this is meant to be a volume 1 of Alix Dobkin's life. Overall, it's a nice read, but a bit more introspection, especially in the second half of the book, would be nice. ( )
