First time on CD for these tracks from two albums (1965's Julius Lester and Departures from '67) by this protest folk and blues singer, originally released on the Vanguard label. Although best known as an author, Lester was very active politically and these beautifully-written songs reflect his concerns. 14 tracks including 'Trying to Make It In', 'Cockroach Blues', 'Long Hot Summer Days' and more. BGP. 2006.
