V/A - Stranded In The USA: Early Songs of Emigration (CD)
Recorded between 1922 and 1959, this set of tunes is an outstanding encapsulation of the immigrant experience in the US.
The songs are sung in the languages of virtually every major national group that arrived in the New World. And emit the sorrows of leaving home, of lost hopes and tenacious dreams, of despair and optimism. And they tell of discrimination and opportunity, city slickers and country bumpkins, romantic conquests and the inevitable clash of cultures.
