Leon Rosselson - Where Are The Barricades?

Leon Rosselson has been at the forefront of songwriting in Britain for over 5 decades. This late collection features some of his finest songs, ranging from the humorous (Active Ageing) to the poignant (The Ballad of Rivka and Mohammed), from the satirical (Where Are the Barricades?) to the lyrical (Fair's Fair), from the anger of the street beggar in Sixty Quid a Week to the defiance of the deserted wife in Paris in the Rain. These are stories for our times, musically varied and not a word wasted.
