"During his brief life as an organizer and songwriter, John
Handcox played a vital role in bettering the lives of sharecroppers
and energizing labor union organizers and members. His songs
stimulated action at the time and have come down through the
decades as stirring anthems of the Depression years... These
recordings are highly recommended for both students and
scholars."
Ronald D. Cohen, "Journal of American Folklore"
."..an enlightening [CD] that honors this important folk
hero."
Lee Blackstone, "RootsWorld"
"[Those] who derive inspiration from the vision of such great
American figures as Mother Jones and Woody Guthrie will definitely

Duck Baker, "Dirty Linen"
