Ballads Of Sacco & Vanzetti

Woody Guthrie
Edition: CD
ISBN: NoISBN
Publisher: Smithsonian/Folkways

ITEM OVERVIEW
Guthrie sings the stories of the anarchists Sacco and Vanzetti, tried and convicted of murder, then executed in Boston in the 1920s. Written by Guthrie during 1946–47, these 12 powerful songs reaffirm the value of the struggle for freedom, and dramatically describe the price often paid. Extensive notes contain a previously unpublished letter written by Guthrie to Judge Thayer, bibliography, discography, and lyrics. Includes "Two Good Men," "The Flood And The Storm," "You Souls of Boston," and "We Welcome To Heaven." An essential slice of history.
