The New Lost City Ramblers- Songs from the Depression

The New Lost City Ramblers- Songs from the Depression

In the traditional string band style, longtime Folkways recording artists The New Lost City Ramblers offer up 18 topical songs written by country singers during the dark days of the Great Depression. Many of the songs are from commercial recordings, mostly from the South, and field recordings made during the Farm Resettlement Program; they illustrate the economic and social depression that affected this area, often long after prosperity began to return to American's urban centers. Band members Tom Paley, John Cohen, and Mike Seeger contributed to the liner notes, which contain background information on the Great Depression as well as song lyrics.

Tracklist:

  1. No Depression In Heaven
  2. There'll Be No Distinction There
  3. Breadline Blues
  4. White House Blues
  5. Franklin Roosevelt's Back Again
  6. How Can A Poor Man Stand Such Times And Live?
  7. Keep Moving
  8. Taxes On The Farmer Feeds Us All
  9. Serves Them Fine
  10. NRA Blues
  11. Death Of The Blue Eagle
  12. Join The C.I.O.
  13. Old Age Pension Check
  14. Sales Tax On The Women
  15. Wreck Of The Tennessee Gravy Train
  16. Loveless C.C.C.
  17. Boys, My Money's All Gone
