V/a / People Take Warning

Tompkins Square

“In the late 1920’s and early 1930’s, the Depression gripped the Nation. It was a time when songs were tools for living. A whole community would turn out to mourn the loss of a member and to sow their songs like seeds. This collection is a wild garden grown from those seeds.”—Tom Waits (from the Introduction). Includes over 30 never reissued tracks recorded between 1913-1938.
