Summary:

Turn!Turn!Turn! reveals '60s folk-rock as a powerful instrument of musical and social change. You'll see how a diverse blend of styles, regions, and cultures swirled into the folk-rock revolution -- infusing popular music with a controversial mix of literate lyricism, social consciousness, and rock 'n' roll rebellion.
