Hal Willner's Freedom Rides with Lou Reed, Geri Allen, Rosanne Cash, Toshi Reagon and more

Celebrate Brooklyn. Mad-genius producer Hal Willner, the man responsible for many of New York's most powerful nights of music, has built a stellar reputation for his amazing skills of juxtaposition, binding together wildly disparate artists in profoundly insightful ways on record and onstage. Focusing here on the Civil Rights movement, Willner enlists rock iconoclast Lou Reed, superb jazz pianist Geri Allen and the progeny of the era's fieriest icons: Rosanne Cash, Toshi Reagon, Tao Seeger and Eric Mingus.
