NotesA 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 1960's. 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 prior to this compilation.
