Notes: 
Sod Buster Ballads is an album by the Almanac Singers: Woody Guthrie, Millard Lampell, Lee Hays and Pete Seeger. The group specialized in topical songs, mostly songs advocating an anti-war, anti-racism and pro-union philosophy. They were part of the Popular Front, an alliance of liberals and leftists, including the Communist Party USA (whose slogan, under their leader Earl Browder, was "Communism is twentieth century Americanism"), who had vowed to put aside their differences in order to fight fascism and promote racial and religious inclusiveness and workers' rights.
After the Almanac Singers disbanded in 1948, Seeger and Hays, joined by two of Hays' young friends, Ronnie Gilbert and Fred Hellerman, began singing together again at fund-raising folk dances, with a repertoire geared to international folk music. The new singing group, appearing for a while in 1949 under the rubric, "The Nameless Quartet", changed their name to The Weavers and went on to achieve great renown.
