Here is an LP I couldn`t decide if I wanted to post or not. I really don`t care for this type of thing, but I know some of you folks who check out my blog will like it.
The only information I know about Aunt Molly Jackson is what`s on the LP cover and in the little booklet inside, which I have included in the post.
Here is scans of the booklet---

Allen - Thank you very much for posting this recording! I recently finished reading a short book (actually a post-grad dissertation) titled "Strike Songs of the Depression", where Aunt Molly was prominently featured in the chapter on the Harlan County coal miner strikes.
ReplyDeleteI had searching for this record on my list of things to do, and you have allowed me to strike it from the list (no pun intended).
Allen, thanks. I was in Harlan in the '70's supporting the miners. Sometimes there's nothing like old time union songs.
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful. If anyone seeks more like it I recommend a compilation of Alan Lomax field recordings entitled High Atomophere.
ReplyDeleteThe High Atmosphere record is a good one!
ReplyDeleteThis one is relly rare I think and I will enjoy it
