A companion piece to Kent's two volumes of Vietnam War-related soul, "A Change Is Gonna Come" is an audio documentation of how it felt to be black and American in the 1960s. 23 exceptional tracks, covering everything from interracial relationships to poverty, hardship to emancipation, from segregation to the rise of the Black Power movement, by leading artists of their generation. Contains many songs that have achieved anthemic status over the past five decades. More than half of the featured tracks have never been on CD before. A very timely release, following the copious amount of media coverage that James Brown merited, especially regarding his role as a spokesperson in the 60s.
