Album: Not in Our Name

Artist: Charlie Haden and Liberation Music Orchestra

This is the 2nd consecutive post about politics-inspired music. What a coincidence!

I wrote about Charlie Haden and Liberation Music Orchestra before and mentioned this band only releases new music during a Republican administration Well, they did it again. With songs named "This is Not America", "Blue Anthem"... you would easily know how much they approve of what George W. Bush have done (his so-called anti-terrorism policy and the war on Iraq.)

I'll refer you all to this excellent review of the album at AllAboutJazz: "The title 'Not In Our Name' comes from the window posters displayed by householders throughout Europe in protest at the US-led invasion and occupation of Iraq—Haden noticed the posters while on tour in '03."
