“Roots of Resistance” is part of the Basically Done Original Soundtrack — the official musical companion to Donald E. Pickett’s novel Basically Done and the upcoming Basically Done series/franchise.

The song addresses the erosion of land ownership, community displacement, and the quiet but unyielding resistance of working people rooted in place. Rather than protest through spectacle, the track carries its defiance through restraint — steady rhythm, grounded imagery, and inherited values that refuse to be erased by corporate systems.

This piece reflects Appalachian generational memory, where land was once attainable through labor and dignity, and where loss of place is not merely economic, but cultural and spiritual. “Roots of Resistance” stands as a truth-forward anthem — not shouting, but enduring.
