He sings one stanza in the original language (English, Russian, German, Spanish) and one in English Accompanied by Lawrence Brown Piano Songs of Free Men is a studio album by Paul Robeson, recorded in early 1942 and released on Columbia Masterworks in 1943.As annotator Paul Robeson, Jr., notes, presents Paul Robeson at the peak of his singing career. “Songs of Free Men”. These are a group of political songs from Russia, Spain, Germany and America. The four Russian songs, including the Red Army favourite Song of the Plains pay tribute to Russia's heroic defence against the N*zi invasion. It is said that Russian soldiers would listen to Robeson before going out onto the battlefield.The Spanish contribution is Four Insurgent Soldiers sung by Robeson during his visit to Spain during the Spanish Civil War, and Peat Bog Soldiers was sung by prisoners in N*zi concentration camps, both reflecting Robeson's antifascist feelings.The American songs “The Purest Kind of Guy” and “Joe Hill” describe the awakening social consciousness of people during the great depression.Robeson was interested in music with a social message, and that message became increasingly obvious as socialist, if not downright communist. As well as singing these songs, Robeson used his fame to speak out about social issues. He travelled several times to Russia, where he was treated as a hero, and even awarded the Stalin Prize.
