Songlines Magazine Reviews Chronicling the Times
The cover photo of Chronicling the Times shows Leon Rosselson playing guitar and singing in the street, the classic image of an angry protest singer. Rosselson is certainly a musical activist who has enlivened many rallies and demonstrations, but he is also one of the finest, bravest and most original singer-songwriters that the British folk scene has produced. His work rarely gets heard on the radio, which is why he is not as well known as he should be, but he has had a hit song. In 1985 Billy Bragg included Rosselson’s ‘The World Turned Upside Down’ on his Between the Wars EP, and the story of the 17th-century radical idealists, the Diggers, made it to #15 in the charts. For Bragg, Rosselson is ‘the embodiment of the original ideals of punk rock- using fearless wit and political integrity to highlight the hypocrisies of those in power.’
