The Singer-Songwriter Movement

The Singer-Songwriter Movement emerged in the late 1960s and 1970s, focusing on musicians who write and perform their own songs, often highlighting personal and introspective themes. Artists like Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, and James Taylor became prominent, blending folk, rock, and pop influences. This movement emphasized authenticity and emotional expression, as musicians shared their stories and feelings through their lyrics. The singer-songwriter style encouraged creative freedom and a connection with audiences, paving the way for future artists to explore personal narratives in their music.
