I heard about these great people when helping a blind lady to cross the street which led me to the Troubadour and this. I am a fan . Peace to from London and Italy.
Awesome! I can't believe I'm just finding this, and I love this version of it - great work, Black Fire!!!! To give a little more background on the rich history of this song, the *original* original, "Mean Things Happening (in this Land)" comes from John Handcox, one of the core members of the Southern Tenant Farmers Union and an African American sharecropper who wrote many of the union's anthems in the mid-1930s (see Michael Honey's "Sharecropper’s Troubadour: John L. Handcox, the Southern Tenant Farmers’ Union, and the African American Song Tradition, 2013). Both the Seegers and the Guthries helped with collecting his songs and keeping them alive. "Mean Things" was part of the protest of the injustice towards sharecroppers between 1934 and WWII that has been largely buried, but is so much a part of all of our histories, including Native American. The rituals of the STFU were largely written by John Alford Gammill, an STFU chapter leader who was (according to H. L. Mitchell's biographical notes) an African American enrolled Muskogee farmer from Oklahoma who helped organize in the state. Thank you for helping to keep this song with us in a new and powerful form!
Discovering this band for a RPG session I'm working on involving a native amrican rockband singer ! That'ss the best discovery I've made since years !!!!
RIP Klee Benally, thank you for always being there for our Diné People✊🏾🏹🪶

Vielen Dank für diesen guten Song. Thank you very much , I love this song
There's meaningful lyrics and good bands happening in this world.
There is a reason Joey Ramone gave them love and respect before he passed on to the 4th world.
They are real.
Wow, that intro was fucking badass!
