教訓 - 加川良

加川 良(かがわ りょう 1947年11月21日 - 2017年4月5日; 69歳没)は、日本のフォークシンガー。芸名は、加山雄三の「加」、長谷川一夫の「川」、池部良の「良」を組み合わせたものと言われる。
アルバム「教訓」(1971年)でURCからデビューしたが、吉田拓郎ほどの一般的名声を得ることはなかった。拓郎の曲「加川良の手紙」で歌われた人物として知られている。拓郎がポップに変わっていくのとは正反対に、ストイックに自らの音楽に忠実に、お金にならない歌を歌い続けたのが理由ともいわれている。「教訓I」の歌詞は大阪・梅田の地下街で手売りされていたガリ版刷りの文集を参考に作られたという。 歌詞の内容は発表から40年以上を経て発生した福島第一原子力発電所事故(2011年)や集団的自衛権の行使問題(2014年)に対してもあてはまると加川は考えており、そのため「歌うたんびに新曲だと思えるんです」とも語っていた。
