Don't Mourn - Organize!: Songs of Labor Songwriter Joe Hill (1990) more music like this

by Various Artists

The inclusion of Joan Baez's version of "Joe Hill" on the Woodstock album has been single-handedly responsible for keeping Joe Hill in the public consciousness.

As frustrating as this trend is ...
