The Face on the Dime: A Musical History of the FDR Years

Lee Hunter writes, "This [album] honors the topical songwriters who preserved history through their creative art, the people who struggled to make America a better land, and the President who led them all." Face on the Dime compiles the songs of some very impressive songwriters including W. C. Handy, Roscoe McDonald, Oscar Hammerstein, Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill.
