i am Obsessed with "The Union Boys" band, formed on March 11, 1944, that literally only existed for one day.

they released one album consisting of entirely anti-fascist, anti-racist, and pro union songs. And it was given its name by Moses Asch, very descriptive name.

I Am Obsessed With "The Union Boys" Band, Formed On March 11, 1944, That Literally Only Existed For One

consisting of Josh White (underrated ! listen to his music), Sonny Terry, Brownie McGhee, Pete Seeger, Burl Ives, Tom Glazer, and technically woody guthrie. this album is the reason i always have "UAW-CIO" stuck in my head lol.

Song of The Day

"We Shall Be Free" Woody Guthrie, Lead Belly, Cisco Houston, Sonny Terry 1940s

"We Shall Be Free" was first written by Lead Belly but is likely based on an older spiritual based on its similarities to other songs like "We Shall Overcome" and "Children We Shall Overcome"
