Songs of Work and Protest

Rating:
Summary: A great collection
Review: An excellent folksong anthology with a particular focus on songs about old (and ongoing) struggles between the haves and the have-nots. There's also a great introduction to each song, putting it in context.

While the songs in this book overlap a little with some other books I own, there are enough hard-to-find ones in here to make it worth thinking about.
