Give Your Hands to Struggle

Reagon's strengths as a songwriter, singer, and composer are reflected in this collection of songs performed with powerful layered harmonies. Includes the full-length version of "Freedom in the Air" and the previously unreleased "We've Come a Long Way to Be Together." Originally released in 1975 on Paredon Records and reissued in 1997 by Smithsonian Folkways, this reissue features the original 43 minutes of audio along with an informative 36-page booklet.
