This two-disc retrospective - with 14 previously unreleased tracks - honors the electric folk, blues and jazz history of one of the unsung champions of American music. This career-spanning album, which begins with Dane's first recordings in 1957, offers unparalleled insight into the outspoken labor movement and civil rights ally that Bonnie Raitt calls a role model and a hero, who is still going strong at 90 years old.
