George Davis began working in the coal mines at thirteen. They are dedicated to supporting cultural diversity and increased understanding among peoples through the documentation preservation and dissemination of sound. This album presents eighteen of his powerful songs. After he injured his arm in a mining accident Davis knew he d never be a great guitarist so he concentrated on writing songs about the problems miners and their unions faced. Through the dissemination of audio recordings and educational materials Folkways Records seek to strengthen people s engagement with their own cultural heritage and to enhance their awareness and appreciation of the cultural heritage of others. Our mission is the legacy of Moses Asch who founded Folkways Records in 1948 to document "people s music " spoken word instruction and sounds from around the world. The Smithsonian acquired Folkways from the Asch estate in 1987 and Smithsonian Folkways Recordings has continued the Folkways commitment to cultural diversity education increased understanding and lively engagement with the world of sound. Folkways Records believe that musical and cultural diversity contributes to the vitality and quality of life throughout the world.
