And now that I think about, this song feels very similar to "Battle Hymns," in a good way, though it still has very much its own identity. Very good song.
Its obvious that he is greatly influenced by Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan etc. His voice sounds like hes trying to copy all that, but the important thing, just like Cohen, dylan, cash etc, is the message. All of the big folk singers were no guitar virtuosos, I respect Morello and this is good
I understand that some people won't like this DIFFERENT Tom Morello... and that's fine... but don't you guys that are saying rude things realize that the guitar playing is NOT the important thing? it's the message.
why the partial title? no offense current, but you have a LOT of in studio performances but few seem to make it onto youtube, why? And are there any plans for a live in studio dvd from current, that as a free gift would at least motivate me to give more.
I haven't liked any folk music in years, but I like this. His songs are really good.

dig up Tom's intro for The Clash induction into Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. He is quite the speaker and full of passion for life and music.
Might be on youtube.

Wow, he's really gained a lot more control over his voice then when he first started The Nightwatchman. He's really starting to shine.

I've been wanting to hear his music since I heard he was doing some solo-acoustic stuff. Not what I was expecting. A few too many "La La's"...
