Cisco Houston (1918–1961) was a vital figure in the folk music movement of the 1940's and 1950's. These 29 songs (including two with Woody Guthrie) feature material Cisco learned while working and traveling across the country: cowboy songs, railroad songs, hobo songs, union songs, work songs, protest songs, children’s songs and love songs. Guy Logsdon’s notes about Cisco’s life provide a rich background and complement this collection. Includes "A Better World A Comin’," "I Ain’t Got No Home" and "Rambling, Gambling Man." Compiled by Guy Logsdon.
"An exhilarating romp through the classic American folk repetoire."
