Talk:1913 Massacre

Cover versions and influences
There were artists not listed as recording this song, who have done so. I felt that they needed to be added to the article. I linked to the artists' homepages when the artists listed "1913 Massacre" on there website and only when "1913 Massacre" could be found in that context rather then a more commercial or for sale looking page. The artists I found and listed under "Cover versions and influences" who don't have "references" only had "1913 Massacre" found as a song they have recorded and listed on a commercial or for sale webpage.

I added "...and influences" to the subheading "Cover versions" because it is important for people to understand how Bob Dylan's "Song to Woody" relates to Guthrie's "1913 Massacre." This led me to included Bob Dylan's "Song to Woody" under the subheading of "Cover versions and influences" because "1913 Massacre" directly "influences" Dylan's tune to his "Song to Woody."

Lost references
The article has a [4], a [7] and a [17]. Someone needs to go through the log and sort out what those used to point to. Varlaam (talk) 03:03, 20 February 2012 (UTC)


 * 's edits on 2011 July 11 suggest a lack of understanding of how we do references around here.  tried to clean it up later that day, but missed those three. —Tamfang (talk) 05:00, 24 April 2016 (UTC)

"Never became a folk standard"?
It's been recorded veritable shitloads of times. What counts as a "folk standard"? (I have as many recordings of 1913 as I have of "This Land is Your Land"!) Phiwum (talk) 02:40, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

The song was recorded in 1945
Reading the liners notes of Hard Travelin': The Asch Recordings, Vol. 3, it says the song was recorded on the 24th of May 1945: https://folkways-media.si.edu/liner_notes/smithsonian_folkways/SFW40102.pdf but it was written in 1941, according to Pete Seeger http://1913massacre.com/about-the-song/ I don't know how to change it in the article.--Sunalee (talk) 09:27, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
