Peter La Farge, indianischer Aktivist, Folksänger, Veteran des Koreakrieges und Rodeo-Bullenreiter hat in den 33 Jahren seines kurzen Lebens viel erlebt. Am besten in Erinnerung geblieben ist er als Autor von 'Ballad Of Ira Hayes', einem Hit für Johnny Cash aus dem Jahre 1964, in dem der tragische Tod eines Kriegshelden festgehalten wird. Die Zusammenstellung mit 27 Songs enthält zwei komplette Folkways-Alben (1964 / 65) von Peter LaFarge, die sich mit der Lage der Ureinwohner Amerikas befassen. (Das Original von 'Ballad Of Ira Hayes' ist dabei). Als Sänger oder Gitarrist reißt er keine Bäume aus; doch LaFarge war ein starker politischer Folksänger und Fürsprecher seines Volkes. Mit seinen aussagestarken Liedern voller Wut besaß er eine Sensibilität für dieses Thema die ihrer Zeit weit voraus war.
Peter La Farge, Indian activist, folksinger, Korean War veteran and rodeo bull rider, lived a lot in his 33 years. He is best remembered for writing Ballad Of Ira Hayes, a 1964 hit for Johnny Cash which chronicled the tragic death of a national War hero. This 27-song collection reissues the entirety of two 1964-65 La Farge Folkways albums primarily concerned with the plight of Native Americans. (The original Ballad Of Ira Hayes appears here). No great shakes as singer or guitarist, La Farge was nonetheless an articulate spokeman for his people whose eloquent, angry songs evinced a sensibility decidedly ahead of its time.
