Title: singing down the years to us
Product review: This album is pretty well current as ever it was. It only needs a few name changes, example 'Cops of the World' for the war in Iraq.'Love me, I'm a Liberal' nails not only American liberals but Britain's New Labour. Phil's verbal intros are as much a memorable a feature of this album. His songs shift perspective and tone and reveals his awesome capacity for shifting from picturesque observation to savage observation (as in Bracero). His capacity to expose and demolish the mendacity of political doublespeak is unrivalled and consistent and the album closes with with both his own epitaph and the most gently and persuasive call for activism(as in his earlier and more obvious 'That's what I want to hear.'
