Songs cover apartheid, domestic abuse, and worker's rights. MacColl and Seeger point out that writing and singing political songs is an age-old tradition, and they hope that the songs on this album will be useful weapons in the arsenal of those who are \"against the brutal exploitation of the working-class, against the senseless waste of human and natural resources and against the pernicious disease of racism.\" Liner notes include song lyrics for each of the tracks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Blast Against Blackguards \u003cbr\u003e1.2 The Tenant Farmer \u003cbr\u003e1.3 The Pay-Up Song \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Emily \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Cut-Price Hero \u003cbr\u003e1.6 You and I \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Legal Illegal \u003cbr\u003e1.8 The Invader \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Father's Song \u003cbr\u003e1.10 White Wind\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Ewan MacColl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32456091893831,"sku":"16947887","price":19.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/1506411.jpg?v=1747362276","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/ewan-maccoll-hot-blast-contemporary-songs","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
