I’m sure I’ve heard Joan Baez’s version before, but this seemed pretty lively, especially with the background music. I hear Paul Robeson’s version more often, usually on Labor Day or May Day on WERU. Very different, more somber. But I’ll let Joan Baez sing anything, any day.
Ted,
I always check to see when I last played a song I want to post. I saw the Joan Baez entry and a Paul Robeson one. The problem is finding the exact song I want on an alternative site as YouTube blocks just about everything for posting. When I found the Baez, I did stop looking. I too will let her sing any day!!
