CD ReviewsThe real thing Thomas Hendricks Hollowell | Arlington, VA | 01/10/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "This is truly relevant progressive and anti-war folk music. It is the sound of maintaining your First Amendment Freedom of Speech. Play it loud to many people. Its what Woody Guthrie would be doing if he were here now. Rovic's singing is perhaps reminiscent of Steve Goodman (of "City of New Orleans" fame); his guitar playing is perfect for his messages. Rovics' recordings are not on one of the huge corporate labels, and for good reason: Big corporations don't care if you to hear these words or think independently. Although this is the only Rovics album carried by Amazon so far (thanks for this at least, Amazon) if you like this sampler you can get many other great albums directly from David. Folk music also recommended along these lines: Pat Humphries, Stephan Smith, Seize the Day, Billy Bragg, Ani DiFranco. Remember Peace with Justice...." Welcome back Woody Greta K. Berlin | Los Angeles, CA United States | 03/29/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "I thought protest music was dead, until I heard the two CDs from David Rovics and watched him perform at the Crawford, Texas anti-war rally on March 20, 2004. I have ordered copies for every member of my family. Thank you for Jenin, The Death of Rachel Corrie, In One World, Palestine and so many, many others. You give those of us who have been activists for the Palestinians real hope." WHO WOULD JESUS BOMB? cvairag | Allan Hancock College | 02/06/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "Quintessential collection by the leading figure in the current folk revival. Rovics, like Dylan of long ago, has a distinctive delivery, is a provocatively competent and accomplished musician, and speaks about the most important things in a way which everyone must hear. The now justly famous "Who Would Jesus Bomb?" is the most 'to the chase' anthem of the anti-Iraq War movement I've heard to date. DR has a generous web site on which you can hear his current material including the wrenching "New Orleans"."
