Maccoll/Seeger- Hot Blast: Contemporary Songs
Political themes run powerfully through this 1978 recording, written and performed by husband and wife Ewan MacColl (1915-1989) and Peggy Seeger (b. 1935). Songs cover apartheid, domestic abuse, and worker's rights. MacColl and Seeger point out that writing and singing political songs is an age-old tradition, and they hope that the songs on this album will be useful weapons in the arsenal of those who are "against the brutal exploitation of the working-class, against the senseless waste of human and natural resources and against the pernicious disease of racism." Liner notes include song lyrics for each of the tracks.
Tracklist:
- Blast Against Blackguards
- The Tenant Farmer
- The Pay-Up Song
- Emily
- Cut-Price Hero
