Cannot provide any further background except I recall hearing the song
in the early 70s, 72 or 73, and it is stunning, her voice full of
emotion, anger and disgust. Ditto for her Soldier Blue which was used
in the film of the same name. The film was made in 1970 and I think My
Country, 'Tis of thy People you're Dying might well be contemporary.
