Woody Guthrie, Leadbelly & Friends ~ We Shall Be Free
Loading...
Uploaded by UnAmericanBandstand on Mar 30, 2009
Probably recorded around the early 1940's.
This is not a gospel song but the usual humorous social commentary one would expect from Woody.
Featured here are of course his close friends -
Leadbelly (vocal-guitar)
Sonny Terry (Harmonica-wooos! and vocals)
and Cisco Houston( guitar vocals)
This song kind of points out some people and situations such as-
Freedom of speech, homelessness, religious hypocrisy- etc.
Personally the "preacher" verse is my favorite. lol
And Leadbelly's guitar is very prominent here. Really stands out.
Thanks for watching / listening!
