This is the first release on Burrito Records,out of Stuart ,Florida.The CEO of
Burrito,Bob Suren,plays bass and guitar on here.8 really cool songs that make me pine for the glory days of the late 80's,when stuff like this was to be found everywhere.Very activist,political,type punk,has the sound of classic stuff you know and love!

JOE GLAZER-the songs of Joe Hill


This is great folk music from a labor activist and member of the Industrial Workers of the World(IWW),Joe Hill.as performed by Joe Glazer,on Folkways Records,1954.Great working class tunes,Food Fortunata says,"Perfecto! I'm now listening to Joe Glazer singing the songs of Joe Hill...would you post this on your blog? It's folk music, but more anarchy than punk for fucking sure!I bought a 10 in. ep of it. released in 1954. Joe Hill is a personal hero of mine.I'll send you a copy,if you're interested. I've covered many of this guy's songs. Framed by the gov't and executed in the early 1900's. what a man!" for more info on Joe Hill check here:http://www.joehill.org/ and here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Hill
