Labor song for the week of January 30, 2012

Ludlow Massacre

By Woody Guthrie

Woody Guthrie was labor's foremost troubadour during the 1940s and 1950s.  He could be found at demonstrations and on picket lines all across the country, supporting the struggles of working men and women with his inspirational, often cutting lyrics.  The author of such classic songs as "This Land is Our Land" and "Hard Travelin'," he inspired a generation of younger musicians ranging from Bob Dylan to Bruce Springsteen to John Cougar Mellencamp.

Many of the tapes and CDs featured on BigLabor.com can be purchased through the non-profit, labor-supported Labor Heritage Foundation: http://www.laborheritage.org/
