Another terrific anti-war protest song by Common Thread. Excellent lyrics and musicianship!
More on Common Thread: Common Thread is a musical revelation that has evolved from the rural hillsides of Western Pa. Originating members Matt Horne and Ken Hatfield are cousins that have grown up together in a musical family which accounts for their tight playing abilities. Additional members Aaron Lemley (percussion) and Sean Coyne (bass) provide a driving force to the music unmatched by other Acoustic acts. Common Thread contains a raw energy and excitability reflected within their lyrical and melodic content.
This is a very nice folk song, by protest singer/ songwriter Yikes McGee.
More on Yikes McGee: Yikes is dedicated to fighting right-wing propaganda, and giving Bush the boot. Yikes has written several other excellent anti-Bush songs that you can also download in mp3 format from his web site. You can also find the lyrics posted there.
This is a very clever folk song that pokes fun at Geoge Bush's macho image by singer / songwriter / publisher Steve Zimmerman.
More on Steve Zimmerman: Steve performs in NYC area with his group: StevieZ and the Malcontents. Steve is also one of the founders of Booklinks Publishing Services. Please visit his website, Shock and Awe Records, where you can find several other anti-Bush songs listed for free download.
This is a blues/rock style protest song written by John McKay and preformed by the John McKay Band
About Greasy, Oily Freedom: I wrote Greasy, Oily Freedom last year when I was entering the poorist time in my life and Bush thought it was a good idea to go across the world and spend billions of dollars killing people so that's where the first line comes from: I sleep on the floor and watch the t.v. war and wonder what it's for - Iraqi freedom?
About the John McKay Band: The John McKay Band is an extremely talented group of musicians playing my songs (which I'd like to think are very good, aware creative tunes) We're opening for Leftover Salmon in a few weeks. Two of the guys have been touring with Dan Bern. The main reason we aren't well know is finances. Most people don't realize that to get a band to the masses you need lots of money. Maybe if I was on George's side and sent him a positive song promoting his side (won't ever happen) than I could get financing through his big fat rich cronies. I'd rather be unknown than look like shit through the eyes of the world. You can purchase a CD of their music by visiting their website.
