Transcendental Blues: "The Revolution Starts ... Now"


You gotta check out Steve Earle's 2004 The Revolution Starts ... Now. Tracks (emphasis mine):
  1. "The Revolution Starts ..." – 3:10
  2. "Home to Houston" – 2:41
  3. "Rich Man's War" – 3:25
  4. "Warrior" – 4:11
  5. "The Gringo's Tale" – 4:33
  6. "Condi, Condi" – 3:08
  7. "F the CC" – 3:12
  8. "Comin' Around" – 3:41
  9. "I Thought You Should Know" – 3:46
  10. "The Seeker" – 3:11
  11. "The Revolution Starts ... Now" – 4:23
This masterwork by Mr. Earle is the best protest rock I've heard in years. Are you down with that?

For the whole story on why Earle is the new man, check out David McGee and Earle's story of this artist's road: Steve Earle: Fearless Heart, Outlaw Poet. Fearless Heart indeed.

I'm with Steve, we are in a revolution -- are you in or out? I want to see the deaths and disappearaces of Bhuddist monks and protesters in Burma stop now!
