Justice and the blues

Hi - I'm running an event at our church where we're going to look at the connection between the blues and justice. This is going to feature lots of live music. I wonder if any of you have any suggestions for songs we could cover. To date I've thought of Charlie Patton's High - Water Rising. Furry Lewis's Judge Harsh Blues, JB Lenoir's Tax Paying Blues and his Vietnam Blues. So you get the idea - songs where the blues connect with injustices in the world. Grateful for any feedback.Gary See More
