BONUS: The Story of John Henry, Part 1

In Part 1, we hear a live performance of “John Henry” by Eric George, a Vermont-based songwriter, sound engineer, and performer of original music and poetry. Eric also shares his relationship to the song and the repertoire of folk music more generally. We also discuss the role of music and culture in shaping a personal narrative, social consciousness and social movements. Last, we get to hear Eric perform an original song off his album, “Songs of Resistance.” We thought the story of John Henry and Eric George’s performance were so important and incredible, that we are making them available to all of our listeners.
