Mostly new tunes by this multi-instrumentalist/singer (guitar, banjo, contrabass guitar). A powerful CD that addresses the issues of refugees everywhere. Politically relevant and musically top notch. It’s full of emotion yet all very simple with only a few touches of acoustic instruments backing the tracks and wonderfully powerful lyrics. I wish I could send a copy of this to every member of Congress. Love this, one of the best discs of the year so far. 1. Downtempo lament about being a refugee. So, so good. 2. Stripped down blues walk w/great lyrics. 3. Midtempo track inspired by Mexican immigrants. 4. Stirring ballad about people fleeing war. Delicate & powerful. 5. Instrumental for 2 guitars and harp. Relaxed & lyrical. 6. Stripped-down and lazy, like a heatwave. Great strings. 7. Bright midtempo, great swamp sound. Such a cool sound. 8. Downtempo Dylan classic given a delta blues touch. 9. Hymn-like, slow & simple song about love & hope. 10. Delicious midtempo Acadian/Cajun instrumental. Oh yeah. 11. Midtempo country blues stride w/great lyricas & harp accent. 12. A capella start, a classic w/ southern-picking stroll. 12. Short (:51 second) solo played on Booker White’s guitar. 13. Downtempo, quiet vocals & deceptively simple guitar. 14. Old time spiritual. Simple but deep vocals. So good. | ||
