This time, it’s a triple CD from 2018 titled “Appleseed's 21st Anniversary Roots And Branches”

Moreover, there are nine new/previously unreleased songs by high-profile friends of the label, including Springsteen's "If I Had a Hammer", plus Tom Morello's "This Land Is Your Land", Tom Russell, Tim Robbins and John Wesley Harding.
