Title: Woody Guthrie, Leadbelly & Friends ~ We Shall Be Free
Added: Mar 30, 2009
Author: UnAmericanBandstand
Duration: 3:2
Description:
Probably recorded around the early 1940's.This is not a gospel song but the usual humorous social commentary one would expect from Woody. Featured here are of course his close friends - Leadbelly (vocal-guitar) Sonny Terry (Harmonica-wooos! and vocals) and Cisco Houston( guitar vocals)This song kind of points out some people and situations such as- Freedom of speech, homelessness, religious hypocrisy- etc. Personally the "preacher" verse is my favorite. lolAnd Leadbelly's guitar is very prominent here. Really stands out. Thanks for watching / listening!

Aug 15, 2011 - Wow wow wow! Fantastic.Funny, tonight I was researching the meaning of the phrase, "hog eyed man" in sea shanties & I had t found 2 meanings. One had to do with a D ring on barges that were crewed by blacks in America; that the D rings looked like hog's eyes. The second was that it, like the one eyed snake, was a sexual allusion. Now I am certain. When paired with jelly roll as in these lyrics the sexual meaning must be correct. Thank you.

Oct 9, 2011 - @UnAmericanBandstand I had to write when I saw the screen name. If I remember my Cheech and Chong, wasn't "UnAmerican Bandstand," one of their early bits from one of their funnier albums? I was a hard core fan. I still call everybody "Man," like they did, even in 2011. The one time it got me in trouble was when I called my dad "Man." He got about as mad as I ever saw him get. the one time i remember him hitting me.
