Woody Guthrie, Leadbelly Friends We Shall Be Free
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 (vocalguitar) Sonny Terry (Harmonicawooos 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. lol And Leadbelly s guitar is very prominent here. Really stands out. Thanks for watching, listening
