American Industrial Ballads

Descripción
Product Description Songs of struggle which emerged from the coal mines, textile mills and acres of farmland, and spoke of issues important to the American laborer. Twenty-four songs written about the unprecedented industrialization of the 19th century, including Peg and Awl, The Farmer is the Man, and Winnsboro Cotton Mill Blues. Irwin Silber’s notes provide a history of labor folk song and its role in American popular music. “Seeger’s straightforward, sincere singing is accompanied by sparse, effective banjo and guitar…an important reissue.” — Sing Out Tienda Had Pete Seeger made more records like this, the quality of his art would stand up to the reputation of his legend. With a stunning, single-minded focus, Seeger delivers hard-driven song after song, 24 in all, and creates a kind of summa of both American radical music and labor history. There are familiar tunes like “Peg and Awl,” “Buffalo Skinners,” “The Farmer Is the Man,” “Hard Times at the Mill,” as well as lesser known numbers like “Let Them Wear Their Watches Fine” and “My Children Are Seven in Number.” In its own way, this 1957 record is as important as Guthrie’s Dust Bowl Ballads, and just as moving. –Roy Francis Kasten
