"Songs of the American labor movement over the 20th century called for just wages, dignity, and a fair shake. The voices grievances, affirmed the value of the worker to society, and expressed hope for life in a more just world. Classis Labor Songs from Smithsonian Folkways is a collage of these voices - champions of the movement, singing songs with a passion and love for their fellow workers that rings true today as it did then. Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Joe Glazer, the Almanac Singers, and more chronicle the history of the American labor movement in stirring song."--Container.
