SWCD41 New Deal Rhythm
Musical Cures for the Depression Blues
Alex Hassan

Total Music Time: 78.38


The incomparable Alex Hassan accompanies talented tenor Doug Bowles in a fascinating recreation of songs inspired by the American Depression of the 1930s. Amusing and bittersweet with more than a passing relevance to today's current situation.
