It was the album that defined his "singing journalist" phase, strewn with songs whose roots were allegedly pulled from ''Newsweek'' magazine. It is one in a long line of folk albums used to tell stories about everyday struggles and hardships. Among these stories was that of William Worthy, an American journalist who traveled to Cuba in spite of an embargo on the country who was forbidden to return to the United States.
