However, this was nothing new, and many of the songs associated with this era came from earlier decades, as blues singers chronicled experiences of racial prejudice, poor rural folk sang about the privations of the Depression, industrial workers railed against exploitation, and gospel singers sought solace in spirituals. This 50-track 2-CD set brings together a selection of recordings which, one way or another, relate to the idea of songs as a medium of protest and social and political commentary, with the later incarnations representing the early stirrings of the classic folk protest movement which crystallised in the early '60s in the hands of Bob Dylan, Joan Baez and others - one or two of their early recordings are included here. Many of the noted voices of protest are featured here - Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Paul Robeson, Josh White - along with folk artists who embraced the cause like Odetta, Nina Simone, Harry Belafonte and many more, plus some of the more obscure but no less important recordings that set the tone and led the way for later artists. It's a fascinating and we hope inspiring collection, which tells many a story.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBillie Holiday - Strange Fruit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSouthern Sons - Go Down Moses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeadbelly - The Bourgeois Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJosh White - Uncle Sam Says\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaul Robeson - Song Of Freedom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePete Seeger ; The Almanac Singers - Dear Mr. President\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWoody Guthrie - This Land Is Your Land\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTom Glazer - We've Got A Plan (G.I.
