Search - Leon Rosselson & Robb Johnson :: The Liberty Tree: A Celebration of the Life and Writings of Thomas Paine

The Liberty Tree tells the story of United States Founding Father Thomas Paine's extraordinary life, interweaving Paine's own words from his letters and the pamphlets that made him one of the most influential and dangerous writers of his age. While the recording includes readings of extracts from newspaper reports, diaries, letters, and other documents of the times, also featured are Paine-inspired tracks written and sung by prolific and influential singer/songwriters Robb Johnson and Leon Rosselson. It adds a compelling dimension to the story by reflecting Paine's radical ideas and evaluating them in the context of the 21st century. This unique blend of words and music challenges received opinion in the same way Paine's writings did.
