About This Book
"Spiced with colorful anecdotes, leavened with humor, and rich with compassion for the struggles of the rank-and-file worker, Labor's Troubadour traces the life and work of labor balladeer Joe Glazer.".
"In a career that has taken him all over the world to sing, write, and collect songs about the common human condition of working, Glazer has seen songs about the battle for the eight hour day give way to songs about automation and cheap imports, with a constant refrain of union busters, scabs, solidarity, plant safety, and retirement benefits. Seventy of these songs are included in the book.
An enthusiastic recruiter and promoter of new talent, Glazer has also drawn a number of new labor balladeers into the limelight, some of whom he profiles here."--BOOK JACKET.
