It's interesting to ponder the world of nearly 60 years ago, especially since we still hold such an era in high regard. 1960 brought us the first glimpse of the Neoliberalist optimism that no longer serves us more than a half century later alongside with such advents like Birth Control & The Flintsones. Music critics look at it as a fallow period, not reflecting the true spirit of the time. Granted, the male-centric narrative that Rock & Roll in particular took a nap from 1959 through the British Invasion is a ridiculous, misogynistic perspective. In 1960, the world was a veritable oyster for many women, especially of color, in a way the repressive 1950's had not been, albeit with it's own challenges to conquer. The amazing pioneers, fresh and veteran below, enrichen a legacy of women artists providing joy despite dim-witted assessments of their contributions to music history. Hopefully the range keeps you entertained for the next 90 minutes.
