Almanac Singers

Politics and music remained closely intertwined with the members' political beliefs, which were far-left and occasionally led to controversial associations with the Communist Party USA . Their first release was an album called '' Songs For John Doe '', would urged non-intervention in World War II , and was made with the help of Eric Bernay (of Keynote), Joe Thompson (of NBC ), Nicholas Ray (future Film Director ) and Alan Lomax ( Musicologist ). The second album was ''Talking Union'', a collection of Labor songs, many of which were intensely anti- Roosevelt .

More recordings followed, but Blacklist ing and internal friction soon drove the group apart. Seeger and Hays founded communal homes called Almanac Houses , but the group fell apart soon after the Attack On Pearl Harbor .
