John Darnielle covers “Power in a Union” for WI teachers
March 10th, 2011 by Matt
John Darnielle of the Mountain Goats has always been a bit political on his twitter account, but yesterday he upped it a notch by recording this cover of “Power in a Union” for the Wisconsin teachers’ union. The song was written in 1913 by Joe Hill, recorded much later by Billy Bragg and brought up again yesterday. It’s quite the anthem and I hope it gives the teachers a bit of encouragement.
