Tradition & Protest - The Great American Folk Revival


From the liner notes:

"Of the various artists active in the American folk song revival which began in the late thrties, some were politically motivated and spread their mainly left-wing message through their music, others were active in many different varieties of music and just saw the movement as being another string to their bow. (...)

The American folk song revival embraced artists of different backgrounds and musical persuasions who, for a few years anyway, were united together as brothers with a common cause."

Hi zero, track 1-3 are somewhat mixed in between, with sudden changes, not separated song by song. Is it possible to correct this?
Nevertheless many thanks for this great blog with a lot of forgotten treasures, please continue ...
