My wife and I don’t disagree on much, but for reasons I can’t fathom she isn’t a folk music fan, so I listen to Folk Alley when she’s not around.

So a few days ago, my wife being elsewhere, I was listening to a song and thought I recognized the voice of the truly great Rhiannon Giddens, and was a bit intrigued by the line “All You Fascists Bound to Lose”. I did a search and it was, indeed, Giddens with the Resistance Revival Chorus singing a song Woody Guthrie penned when the prospects for the Fascists, at least in this country, were indeed a bit dimmer than today.

Here’s the Giddens version:

And, for your listening pleasure, here’s Woody, from back in the day.

We can only hope that Woody was right.

As a side note, it’s been many a moon since I put up music, something that used to be a regular Friday night feature on this blog. Maybe I’ll start again.
