Need another beer to loosen you up for those vocals? | 0:00:02 | 0:00:04 | |
We need a wild sound on these background vocals. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:08 | |
We want a WILD sound! | 0:00:08 | 0:00:10 | |
I want a beer-drunk, whisky-drinking sound! | 0:00:11 | 0:00:14 | |
Initially, it was just a raw, wild music, | 0:00:18 | 0:00:22 | |
and the people who were doing the singing and the people they were singing about | 0:00:22 | 0:00:27 | |
were just raw and wild. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:29 | |
People think that rocking started in the '40s or '50s. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:32 | |
No. You go back to the '20s | 0:00:32 | 0:00:34 | |
and the '30s, and it was just... | 0:00:34 | 0:00:37 | |
rocking bands, string bands, brass bands, | 0:00:37 | 0:00:40 | |
and so we've put together a little bit of all of those things. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:44 | |

# Well, John Henry hammered in the mountains | 0:04:58 | 0:05:01 | |
# His hammer was striking fire | 0:05:03 | 0:05:06 | |
# He worked so hard He broke his heart | 0:05:07 | 0:05:11 | |
# John Henry, he laid down his hammer and died, Lord, Lord | 0:05:11 | 0:05:15 | |
# John Henry, he laid down his hammer and died | 0:05:16 | 0:05:20 | |

CHEERS AND APPLAUSE | 0:14:18 | 0:14:20 | |
This was a song written... | 0:14:32 | 0:14:35 | |
I think it was recorded a month after the... | 0:14:35 | 0:14:40 | |
Great Depression hit in the United States, | 0:14:40 | 0:14:43 | |
written by a guy named Blind Alfred Reed. < Woo! | 0:14:43 | 0:14:46 | |
And, um... | 0:14:46 | 0:14:48 | |
A Blind Alfred Reed fan over there. | 0:14:49 | 0:14:52 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:14:52 | 0:14:53 | |
MAN SHOUTS OUT | 0:14:53 | 0:14:57 | |
But, um... | 0:14:58 | 0:15:00 | |
We were... I guess we were just down in New Orleans. | 0:15:01 | 0:15:04 | |
It's hard to explain what New Orleans is like. | 0:15:04 | 0:15:07 | |
If you're a musician, New Orleans of course is sacred ground and, uh... | 0:15:07 | 0:15:13 | |
it's just been so completely devastated - | 0:15:13 | 0:15:15 | |
miles after miles of wrecked homes and wrecked lives and... | 0:15:15 | 0:15:21 | |
people spread out all across the United States. The city lost half its population. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:26 | |
Haven't had anything like it in the States since the Dust Bowl, | 0:15:26 | 0:15:30 | |
so I wrote three versions, | 0:15:30 | 0:15:33 | |
hoping Mr...Mr Alfred Reed wouldn't mind | 0:15:33 | 0:15:38 | |
and, uh... | 0:15:38 | 0:15:39 | |
and, um... | 0:15:39 | 0:15:42 | |
I dedicated this to our President bystander, | 0:15:42 | 0:15:45 | |
who managed to screw up the only agency | 0:15:45 | 0:15:47 | |
that was there to assist folks | 0:15:47 | 0:15:50 | |
at times like that, through pure political cronyism | 0:15:50 | 0:15:53 | |
and, uh... So... | 0:15:53 | 0:15:55 | |
this is called How Can A Poor Man Stand Such Times? | 0:15:55 | 0:16:00 | |

# Well, a doctor comes round here with his face so bright | 0:16:13 | 0:16:19 | |

# Tell me, how can a poor man stand such times and live? | 0:16:34 | 0:16:41 | |
# He said, "Me and my old school pals had some mighty high times round here | 0:16:47 | 0:16:53 | |
# "And what happened to you poor black folks, well, it just ain't fair" | 0:16:55 | 0:17:00 | |
# He took a look around Gave a little pep talk | 0:17:01 | 0:17:04 | |
# Said, "I'm with you" then he took a little walk | 0:17:04 | 0:17:08 | |
# Tell me, how can a poor man stand such times and live? | 0:17:08 | 0:17:16 | |

# Now Mrs McGrath lived on the shore And after seven years or more | 0:21:36 | 0:21:42 | |
# She spotted a ship come into the bay | 0:21:42 | 0:21:44 | |

All right. Oh, yeah. | 0:26:06 | 0:26:08 | |
All right, this was written in, uh... | 0:26:09 | 0:26:12 | |
um...by a gal named Agnes "Sis" Cunningham. | 0:26:12 | 0:26:16 | |
She was a member of the Almanac Singers | 0:26:16 | 0:26:19 | |
and founder editor of Broadside magazine. She was a Dust Bowl refugee. | 0:26:19 | 0:26:23 | |
Written about the Oklahoma Dust Bowl, | 0:26:23 | 0:26:26 | |
it's called My Oklahoma Home. CHEERING | 0:26:26 | 0:26:29 | |
# When they opened up the strip I was young and full of zip | 0:26:40 | 0:26:45 | |
# Wanted some place to call my home | 0:26:46 | 0:26:49 | |
# And so I made the race and I staked me out a place | 0:26:51 | 0:26:56 | |
# And settled down along the Cimarron | 0:26:56 | 0:27:00 | |
-# It blowed away -Blowed away! | 0:27:01 | 0:27:03 | |
-# It blowed away -Blowed away! | 0:27:03 | 0:27:07 | |
# Yeah, my Oklahoma home has blown away | 0:27:07 | 0:27:11 | |
# It looked so green and fair when I built my shanty there | 0:27:12 | 0:27:17 | |
# And my Oklahoma home was blown away | 0:27:17 | 0:27:21 | |
# Well, I planted wheat and oats Got some chickens and some shoats | 0:27:22 | 0:27:27 | |
# Aimed to have some ham and eggs to feed my face | 0:27:28 | 0:27:32 | |
# Got a mule to pull the plough | 0:27:32 | 0:27:35 | |
# Got an old red muley cow | 0:27:35 | 0:27:38 | |
# I also got a fancy mortgage on this place | 0:27:38 | 0:27:42 | |
-# But it blowed away -Blowed away! | 0:27:42 | 0:27:45 | |
-# It blowed away -Blowed away! | 0:27:45 | 0:27:48 | |
# All the crops that I planted blown away | 0:27:48 | 0:27:52 | |
# Well, you can't grow any grain if you ain't got any rain | 0:27:53 | 0:27:58 | |
# Everything except my mortgage blown away... # | 0:27:58 | 0:28:02 | |
Come on! | 0:28:02 | 0:28:04 | |
# Well, it looked so green and fair When I built my shanty there | 0:28:25 | 0:28:30 | |
# I figured I was all set for life | 0:28:30 | 0:28:33 | |
# I put on my Sunday best with my fancy scalloped vest | 0:28:34 | 0:28:40 | |
# And I went to town to pick me out a wife | 0:28:40 | 0:28:44 | |
-# She blowed away -Blowed away! | 0:28:45 | 0:28:47 | |
-# She blowed away -Blowed away! | 0:28:47 | 0:28:50 | |
# Yeah, my Oklahoma woman's blown away | 0:28:50 | 0:28:54 | |
# Mister, as I bent to kiss her She was picked up by a twister | 0:28:55 | 0:29:01 | |
# My Oklahoma woman's blown away! # Swing that thing! | 0:29:01 | 0:29:05 | |
# Then I was left alone just listenin' to the moan | 0:29:26 | 0:29:31 | |
# Of the wind around the corners of my shack | 0:29:31 | 0:29:35 | |
# I took off down the road where the south wind blowed | 0:29:36 | 0:29:41 | |
# And I travelled with the wind upon my back | 0:29:41 | 0:29:45 | |
-# I blowed away -Blowed away | 0:29:46 | 0:29:49 | |
-# I blowed away -Blowed away | 0:29:49 | 0:29:52 | |

BOOING | 0:34:53 | 0:34:56 | |
Let's hear it for the horn section. | 0:34:58 | 0:35:00 | |
CHEERING | 0:35:00 | 0:35:03 | |
Eddie Manion! Clark Gayton! Curt Ramm! | 0:35:03 | 0:35:06 | |
Art Baron! | 0:35:06 | 0:35:07 | |
Well done, gentlemen. | 0:35:10 | 0:35:12 | |
This is a song called Jacob's Ladder. | 0:35:13 | 0:35:17 | |
CROWD: Yeah! | 0:35:17 | 0:35:18 | |
I always figured... | 0:35:18 | 0:35:20 | |
Jacob - I read up on him the other night and he was somebody that was always doing it wrong in God's eyes, | 0:35:20 | 0:35:27 | |
and God kept giving him things to do to work his way back into grace step by step, | 0:35:27 | 0:35:34 | |
and he'd screw up again step by step by step until... | 0:35:34 | 0:35:37 | |
finally, I guess, he got sort of close, | 0:35:37 | 0:35:41 | |
but um... | 0:35:41 | 0:35:42 | |
So this is sort of like we are all climbing Jacob's ladder rung by rung - you can ask my wife. | 0:35:42 | 0:35:48 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:35:48 | 0:35:50 | |
But, um... | 0:35:50 | 0:35:52 | |
Here we go. | 0:35:52 | 0:35:54 | |
# We are climbing Jacob's ladder | 0:36:03 | 0:36:08 | |
# We are climbing Jacob's ladder... # | 0:36:09 | 0:36:15 | |
This is not how this song begins. | 0:36:15 | 0:36:18 | |
It doesn't begin remotely like this. | 0:36:19 | 0:36:22 | |
I was enjoying myself so tremendously. | 0:36:23 | 0:36:26 | |
It doesn't begin like that at all. | 0:36:26 | 0:36:29 | |
It actually begins like this. | 0:36:29 | 0:36:31 | |
A-one, a-two, a-one, two, three! | 0:36:31 | 0:36:35 | |
# We are climbing Jacob's ladder | 0:36:38 | 0:36:44 | |

All right! | 0:42:33 | 0:42:35 | |
One, two, three! | 0:42:35 | 0:42:37 | |
BOOING | 0:42:51 | 0:42:53 | |
All right! | 0:42:55 | 0:42:57 | |
Lisa Lowell! Curtis King! | 0:42:57 | 0:43:00 | |
Cindy Mizelle on those vocal! | 0:43:01 | 0:43:04 | |
Mr Marc Anthony Thompson! | 0:43:04 | 0:43:07 | |
That's right! | 0:43:09 | 0:43:12 | |
You know, I was feeling really good... | 0:43:15 | 0:43:18 | |
..at the beginning of that Jacob's Ladder going... | 0:43:19 | 0:43:23 | |
I'm just hanging and I'm thinking, "OK, when does the band come in?" | 0:43:24 | 0:43:28 | |
Then I realised, "Wait! The band's already supposed to be in. | 0:43:28 | 0:43:33 | |
"They're supposed to be in now! | 0:43:33 | 0:43:35 | |
"Not later." | 0:43:35 | 0:43:37 | |
Oh, yes. Oh, yes. | 0:43:40 | 0:43:42 | |
This is one of the most important protest songs of all time. | 0:43:44 | 0:43:49 | |
It's sung all over the world, | 0:43:49 | 0:43:51 | |
wherever people fight for justice and equality. | 0:43:51 | 0:43:55 | |
It was originally a Baptist hymn. | 0:43:55 | 0:43:57 | |
I think it was brought into the labour movement in the '30s | 0:43:57 | 0:44:01 | |
and popularised... | 0:44:01 | 0:44:03 | |
by the civil rights workers in the 1950s. | 0:44:03 | 0:44:08 | |
This was sung as recently as last week in the States at the immigration marches. | 0:44:08 | 0:44:14 | |
It is We Shall Overcome. | 0:44:15 | 0:44:17 | |
# Hey, we shall overcome | 0:44:50 | 0:44:54 | |
# We shall overcome | 0:44:56 | 0:44:59 | |
