Not a light comparison to make for sure, but if ever we had new political troubadour, it is David Rovics. Haunting, beautiful, rousing, and pointedly releva...

Halliburton Boardroom Massacre - David Rovics
The world seems to be heading hell bound on the crazy at the moment. Rovics has hitched along for the ride, and understandably, is rather enraged at the current situation. While the beauty, pathos and poignancy of his lyrics remain, what shines through on this disc is the slamming fury, directed with all the venom of CRASS, against numerous well-deserved targets. He's joined by a full band, and it really wor...
