As usual, if Kat's reviewed the CD, we'll just include a link to her review.
1) Bright Eyes' Cassadaga.
2) Holly Near's Show Up.
3) Michael Franti & Spearhead's Yell Fire.
4) Graham Nash's Songs for Beginners. Must listen's "Military Madness" and "Wounded Bird."
5) Tracy Chapman's Tracy Chapman. "Don't you know . . . talking 'bout a revolution sounds like a whisper . . ." and that's just the opening track on Chapman's self-titled debut.
6) Carly Simon's Hotcakes. This is Dona's favorite album by Carly Simon (and one of her top twenty favorites of all time). "Forever My Love" wasn't included on the boxed set Clouds In My Coffee, but should have been. "Safe and Sound," "Think I'm Gonna Have A Baby," "Grown Up" and, of course, "Haven't Got Time for the Pain" are among the favorite tracks of this CD.
7) David Rovics' Halliburton Boardroom Massacre.
8) Ben Harper's Both Sides of the Gun.
9) Neil Young's Living With War.
10) Etta James' All the Way.
