Technology has rescued musical works that might otherwise be lost — including a 1987 album by none other than Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders.

"I'm not joking," Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon said Monday in spotlighting the Sanders album. "This is real."

As mayor of Burlington, Vermont, Sanders and thirty state artists cut We Shall Overcome, a work that featured an A side of labor, anti-war and civil rights anthems like Where Have All All The Flowers Gone and This Land Is Your Land, as well as the title track.

Side B features "A Conversation With Bernie Sanders."

"Tough call," Fallon cracked during a "Don't Play This" segment. "I'm going with Side A."

Fallon, laughing all the way, then played the Sanders version of This Land Is Your Land, which the future presidential candidate spoke more than sang.

"He's got the voice of an angel," Fallon said. "An angel who grew up in Brooklyn."

Woody Guthrie, eat your heart out.

The Sanders bit starts shortly after the 3:15 mark.
