- W2626367854 abstract "Protest songs dealing with specific historical events tend to have built-in expiration date, to use an apt expression coined recently by Suzy Rotolo in regard to Phil Och's topical songs of the 1960s, which of course doesn't lessen the validity of a well-written song ; it serves its purpose within its designated shelf life. (Rotolo 2008 : 246). This paper explores the transformations of a Depression-era protest song, originally recorded for RCA Victor on December 4,1929 by the morally conservative Virginian composer-singer-fiddler Blind Alfred Reed, and subsequently covered since then, notably by the New Lost City Ramblers during the folk revival on Songs of the Depression (Folkways, 1959), by Ry Cooder on his self-titled album (Reprise, 1970), and more recently by Bruce Springsteen on his tribute album to Pete Seeger, We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions (Columbia, 2006). Among the questions I explore are the following: How has this song remained relevant to new generations despite its historical link to the Depression era (e.g., a verse about the Prohibition)? What textual and musical features have contributed to its success? How do these performances, and especially the musical textures, reflect their times and deflect the original message of the song? How have successive artists manipulated the original to their own esthetic or political ends (e.g., by changing the order of verses, by adding or omitting lyrics, etc.), and to what effect? Twentieth-century protest songs have often been associated with the political Left, with some notable exceptions (e.g., Merle Haggard's Okie from Muskogee). How has the historical context combined with artistic intentions altered the political flavor of this particular song? The broader aim of this research is to cast light on the multi-faceted functions of protest songs and how their meanings vary over time. Reference Rotolo, Suzy. 2008.
