about

We Just Come to Work Here, We Don’t Come to Die is an extraordinary compilation of some of Collector Records’ best-loved artists, who highlight the hazards of working in the industrial world. "These songs are dedicated to the 70,000 workers who are killed or permanently disabled on the job each year in the United States," and who better than to sing them but Joe Glazer, Eddie Starr, Larry Penn, and Sweet Honey in the Rock?
