Listen to “Blue Collar Town” written by Escanaba resident, Chris Brooks

by Andrew on January 15, 2009

I was tipped off to “Blue Collar Town” by Christina Henderson via Twitter. You can follow Christina at twitter.com/ChrisQuick.

The song’s writer, Chris Brooks, happens to be her boss and when she first made mention of it it was something like, “listen to boss’ new song, “Blue Collar Town” and I thought that perhaps it was THE Boss – Bruce Springsteen. Instead, it’s a great song written by an Escanaba resident about what’s happened to Escanaba over the years and it can be equated to what’s happened in Michigan and across the country as well.

Listen to “Blue Collar Town“.

Hello,

We publish a trade publication for the pulp and paper industry.

Someone sent me the song which speaks very personally to people in small, suffering papermill towns.

We would interested in attaching a copy of the song to one of our electronic websites. Would this be possible? Who should we approach about permission to do so?

Will would give full credit to the writer and performer and any other organization involved.

Thanks and regards,
