RRC 1229

Paul Robeson

Songs of Struggle & more

1 CD(s), AAD

Review:

Paul Robeson once said: "The artist must elect to fight for Freedom or for Slavery." Amongst the favourites here (we repeat two short ones also on RRC 1056) are the rare folk, rebel and Union ballads as well as negro spirituals
