Under American Skies

Under American Skies
(2000)
Words and music by Anne Hills and Tom Paxton

L'unico inedito dell' omonimo album del 2001 dove Anne Hills reinterpreta insieme a Tom Paxton vari classici della musica folk. La title track è un'amara riflessione sulla pena di morte e sul destino di chi vive ai margini della società negli Stati Uniti.

That Kind of Grace

That Kind of Grace
(1992)
by Anne Hills & David Roth
Album: Rising in Love - 1993

This song was originally inspired by people who have faced civil rights violations within their communities and families. The forgiveness they displayed goes beyond what would seem humanly possible.
Specifically, Mrs. Alpha Robertson whose daughter Carole was killed in the Birmingham church bombing, Beulah Mae Donald whose son was lynched in 1981 by the KKK, and Rodney King, whose violent beating by LA police officers (and their
subsequent acquittal in the first trial) provided painful examples of the continuing racial injustice within the U.S. legal system

Manzanar

Manzanar
[1992]
Album "Box of Visions"
Il brano è stato anche proposto da Tom Paxton, in coppia con Anne Hills, nell'album del 2001 "Under American Skies".

Una delle pagine meno note e più tristi della seconda guerra mondiale, una storia che ci ricorda come l'ossessione per la sicurezza nazionale degli USA - ossessione accompagnata dalla sistematica violazione dei diritti umani e del diritto internazionale - non sia nata con l'11 settembre e Guantanamo...

In California, ai piedi della Sierra Nevada c’era un bel posto chiamato Manzanar, Owens Valley. C’erano corsi d’acqua e terre fertili e i nativi Paiute ci vivevano cacciando, pescando e raccogliendo i pinoli nelle estese foreste di conifere. Poi, a metà del XIX secolo, sulla Sierra Nevada furono scoperti giacimenti d’oro e di argento e per i Paiute fu la fine: quelli che non furono uccisi vennero deportati nella riserva di Fort Tejon.
