Folksingers. Protest singers. Troubadours. That’s what we used to call them before Jac Holzman’s Elektra Records put out THE SINGER SONGWRITER PROJECT in 1965. The album featured four different US singer songwriters, with a style completely their own. David Cohen (aka David Blue), Dick (Richard) Farina, Bruce Murdoch and Patrick Sky. It took a while until the phrase was commonly used, but when Jackson Browne, Carole King, Joni Mitchell, James Taylor and others came along, in the late 60’s, early 70’s, everybody knew what a ’singer songwriter’ was. On September 4, 2015, HemifrÃ¥n pays tribute to both the phrase and this classic and historic album with â€Hidden Treasures – Singer Songwriters From Homeâ€, featuring Bob Cheevers, Greg Copeland, Keith Miles and Barry Ollman, four highly acclaimed US singer songwriters who’s been around for years, yet still are some kind of ’hidden treasures’.
