Josh White (1914-69) was originally from Greenville, South Carolina, but had little use for the South and its racial customs. Not long after this recording session he moved to New York and became a big hit with the left-wing folk music audience, Not especially political himself, he developed a more commercially appealing act very early on, and was one of the leading figures in the folk "revival" of the early 60s.
