Songfacts®:

  • This is not a song about wine, but rather part of Ballads Of Sacco & Vanzetti, an album commissioned by Moses Asch of Folkways Records in support of Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, who were convicted of murder in a highly publicized trial.

    Genuine wine lovers may prefer Neil Diamond's double red version. (Thanks, Alexander Baron - London, England. For more on Guthrie, see our interview with his granddaughter Anna Canoni.) >>>
