Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Brave music!.......2006-03-27

This cd is another thought-provoking gem from the prolific and brilliant topical singer-songwriter, David Rovics. Besides being an amazing lyricist, he has a wonderful lilting voice and can really play a guitar. Some of his songs are funny (though serious), while others are simply heart-breaking. Check out his website at davidrovics.com, or better yet see him live! (He tours constantly).

5 out of 5 stars WHO WOULD JESUS BOMB?.......2006-02-20

Quintessential collection by the leading figure in the current folk revival. Rovics, like Dylan of long ago, has a distinctive delivery, is a provocatively competent and accomplished musician, and speaks about the most important things in a way which everyone must hear. The now justly famous "Who Would Jesus Bomb?" is the most 'to the chase' anthem of the anti-Iraq War movement I've heard to date. DR has a generous web site on which you can hear his current material including the wrenching "New Orleans".

5 out of 5 stars Courageous Music.......2005-08-11

In these days of cowering journalists, writers and other artists, it is a breath of fresh air to listen to Rovics' work. His cutting and insightful lyrics should humble the social commentators of our era. While Bill Hicks used comedy to attack our complacent reality, Rovics uses music. Inspirational work in the fight for freedom and democracy.

5 out of 5 stars Political songs that I like to hear!.......2004-09-13

Truly, political folk singers of this caliber are hard to find. David Rovics continues singing political songs that are both humorous and serious. In my collection of David Rovics cds, this is probably my 2 or 3 favorite after "Return."
