Spinning On Air

Stretching the Song Form

Friday, July 19, 2002

Here are some songwriters who are stretching the song form.


Songwriters are stretching the song form, not to the breaking point, not into shapelessness, and not beyond recognition, but with an ear for the unusual. Included are recordings by Viv Corringham and Peter Cusak, Bee and Flower, Ritchie Havens, and other examples new and old.
