Summary
Globetrotting singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Ry Cooder creates fourteen tracks that serve as a new take on the protest song. With brilliant, Woody Guthrie-like directness and a healthy dollop of satire, Cooder's lyrics address the often-sorry state of our domestic affairs: the bank bailout, the anti-immigration movement, the ever-growing gap between rich and poor, and the never-ending war in the Middle East and its devastating physical and emotional toll on young soldiers
