Death comes to us all in one way or another, so it comes as no surprise that many songs have been written with this in mind. Fending off death was a genuine preoccupation with so many of the poor US population in the first half of the Twentieth century. Whether it be down trodden and tragic Blues, Country music or goodtime ‘laughing in the face of death’ Rock ‘n’ Roll, the full gamut is expressed on this compilation ensuring that these songs will live forever !
