VA - Songs for Political Action: Folk Music, Topical Songs and the American Left (CD 7 - 10)

Disc seven ("Pete Seeger: 1946-48") is mostly made up of Seeger's masterpieces "Roll the Union On" and "Songs for Political Action".

Disc nine ("Campaign Songs: 1944-1949") represents the last significant cohesive body of topical political songs to come from the American left.

By the time of disc ten ("An Era Closes"), the Left couldn't do more than snipe at the reactionaries setting the agenda and the passive moderates who stood by.
