Labor song for the week of February 20, 2012

Hold the Fort

By IWW Rebel Voices

On the evenings of August 31 and September 1, 1984, a dozen Wobbly singers produced a joint concert at Holstein’s on North Lincoln in Chicago, a club owned and operated by folk singers.  This recording is the result.  These songs... represent not only the living spirt of the Industrial Workers of the World but the imperishable ideal of the essential solidarity of the working class worldwide.  It is in that spirit of comradeship, where “an injury to one is an injury to all,” that we send these songs out to everyone everywhere struggling to build the workers’ commonwealth.

-- From liner notes by Utah Phllips
