#4 Summer 1996 (Editor's Note: This cover image features blackface, a racist practice, which used face paint to impersonate and appropriate Black string band music and traditions. It was widely used in early 20th century music, including at minstrel shows and by country musicians like Hank Williams, pictured here. No Depression does not condone the use of blackface for any purpose, but we believe it is important to acknowledge and learn from this chapter in roots music history.)
