Lyrics from Peace Arch Concerts
All Music Guide Review
These legendary recordings resulted from the most trying of circumstances. In the early '50s, the U.S. government revoked Paul Robeson's passport on the grounds of purported un-American political leanings, effectively blocking a planned 1952 live performance in Canada. Undaunted, Robeson appeared anyway, singing from a flatbed truck parked on the grounds of the Peace Arch Park in Blaine, Washington -- just one foot away from the Canadian border -- with over 40,000 Americans and Canadians in attendance. Another similar performance was held a year later, and The Peace Arch Concerts assembles material from both dates; not surprisingly, Robeson is in sterling form, singing with unparalleled passion and conviction. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide
