Hugh's MP3 Pick: 3/28/00

Anne Feeney
"War on the Workers"

There aren't a lot of union maids around the folk scene these days. Most folk singers try to tug at our sympathies and prick our consciences. But Feeney is an unrepentant Wobblie, an unapologetic warrior on the barricades. You can hear her in action, live, through this page at mp3.com - hit this link, then scroll down to the 8th track to hear my pick 'War on the Workers'":

Music of the Detroit Newspaper Strike

You can also hear other in-your-face protest songs from the Detroit Newspaper Strike here, available as streaming audio or as free MP3 downloads. New and old classics.
