Synopsis

Album Description
The Almanac Singers are at the very root of the politicized modern American folk music which rose from the ashes in the early 1960's to take over the world...here are their most vital recordings in a first-time European CD collection. The latest installment of our acclaimed series "Americana/Unamerican?" spotlighting the radical elements in the Americana genre. Wonderfully re-mastered in scintillating RevOla style. Beautiful artwork as usual, with an informative essay on the very roots of the 'folk boom'. Many rare radio session tracks not heard since originally broadcast. The Almanac Singers original releases are almost impossible to find, but we found 'em! A must for all folkies, and anyone interested in the labyrinthine world of the early American folk revival and it's political roots.

"When I let all my vinyl albums go a few years back, I was worried that I would never be able to replace "Songs of the Sea and Soil." This CD has all the songs from that album plus more. I am ecstatic."
Great music - Great Sound

"Wow. This has some good stuff on it and it is remastered to sound very up-to-date. I love Woody Guthrie's "Ride and Old Paint"! The labor songs get a bit tedious after about 5 of them in a row, but there is enough other material on this CD to more than compensate for the propaganda! A great addition to our collection!"
