this is a call to arms,
buy, borrow, steal the following:
Shooter Jennings & Hierophant featuring Stephen King - Black Ribbons
nothing less than mind blowing.
tis a concept album, with Stephen King (yes, that one) playing a radio show host on his last night of broadcast. it seems the government doesn't appreciate his style of economic, social and political commentary, and so they are 'phasing' him out.
before he leaves however, he decides to break with tradition, as he puts it, as most music these days is manufactured corporate bullshit, and play the music of his favourite band, Hierophant.
the album is phenomenal, and king's inter-track comments are brilliant.
just a heads up, i'll leave you with this from the album, courtesy of stephen king.
Woodie Guthrie said, This Land is Your Land, This Land is My Land. Great Words, but. This Land is Their Land now.
