Synopsis

Album Description
The King of The New York City Blues returns with what's destined to be one of the most topical and important records of 2004. Twelve tracks of hard hitting, politically inspired songs that run from upholding our first amendment rights in the hard thumping shuffle "Un-American Blues," to protesting the plight of young people dying for the lust of oil and power in "Young Men." Highlights also include "The Top Ten Reasons Why I Can't Sleep At Night," and a high-velocity, hard rock version of the Carter Family classic "Keep On The Sunny Side of Life." In a recent interview Popa was asked, "Where is the outrage in America? Where is the anger over the violation of our rights as Americans and human beings?" Popa simply responded "It is here, and people are waiting for a rallying call, a way and a reason to stand up for their rights as Americans. A way to stand up against the current policies of those in power that do not take in account that America is built on the sweat of the working class."

CD Reviews

Popa gets better once more...
kiril | Europe | 05/21/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I got the European version of this Popa Chubby album (different and better cover), which was out a month or so prior to the Blind Pig records US edition. Popa is very popular around here and in my perception way underappreciated in his home in America. The new title is out for sometime now and there's not a single customer review on Amazon yet?!? That said you need this CD badly if you are into an honest, straight ahead blues-rock music, lets alone if you are a fan already. Then for the long-time Popa fans his unique melodic (for lack of a better term to describe them) solos are not a secret. He is true to the style again, yet the new tunes are fresh and stinging and much different from his previous work too. I will put Peace Love & Respect alongside Popa's best studio work so far: How'd a White Boy Get the Blues? and the outstanding The Good, the Bad & the Chubby. It's a shame to miss any of them, honestly....



BTW it's not the second (as the editor review states) but the third Blind Pig release, plus a fourth CD of previously issued early works. Did I mention the artist is underappreciated.....?"
The guy is brilliant and getting better

"My first CHUBBY was very good, but this is a huge step forward. CHUBBY's brand of social conscious and good time BLUES is getting better and better. He has things that he wants to say, but he never becomes preachy. His views are valid and put in an intelligent way via his musik. Yet despite all that, this CD is mainly about having fun.

You can certainly ignore all the message stuff and simply get of on CHUBBY's guitar. He is also getting better as a guitar player and this CD contains many superb guitar moments.

It will also get any party going and I dare you to sit still through this one. If you like a current version of the blues by an intelligent songwriter / guitarist, look no further, this delivers."
