Dropkick Murphys - For the People - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Each band contributes three original tracks, plus a cover of the other-Haywire taking on InchThe Boys Are Back,Inch and Dropkick Murphys reworking InchAlways By My Side.Inch The collaboration carried over to the stage during Dropkick Murphys' InchFor the People... In The PitInch St. Patrick's Day Tour which marked the bands 30th Anniversary run this February and March, where both bands shared the bill.

Hang Up the Telephone 7. The Henchmen 8. The Boys Are Back

Dropkick Murphys history with Woody Guthrie dates back decades, from covering InchGonna Be A Blackout TonightInch on their 2003 album Blackout, to using some of Guthrie's writing about Boston in their immortal hit InchI'm Shipping Up To BostonInch. But on their latest album, This Machine Still Kills Fascists, Dropkick Murphys have crafted an entire record around the seminal American folk icon, bringing Woody Guthrie's perennial jabs at life-many of which are from the 1940s and '50s-into the present, with the resulting music eerily relevant to today's world. The idea for the collaboration had been percolating between Guthrie's daughter Nora and the band for more than a decade, with Nora curating a collection of her father's never before-published lyrics for the band over the years. The result is one of Dropkick Murphys most unique releases, and the culmination of two like-minded rebellious artists collaborating, albeit nearly a century apart. Album Tracks 1. Two 6's Upside Down 2. Talking Jukebox 3. Ten Times More 4. Never Git Drunk No More 5. All You Fonies 6. The Last One 7. Cadillac, Cadillac 8. Waters Are A'risin 9. Where Trouble Is at 10. Dig a Hole

2023 . Dropkick Murphys history with Woody Guthrie dates back decades, from covering InchGonna Be A Blackout TonightInch on their 2003 album Blackout, to using some of Guthrie's writing about Boston in their immortal hit InchI'm Shipping Up To BostonInch. On their recent 2022 album, This Machine Still Kills Fascists, Dropkick Murphys crafted an entire record around the seminal American folk icon, bringing Woody Guthrie's perennial jabs at life-many of which are from the 1940s and '50s-into the present, with the resulting music eerily relevant to today's world. Okemah Rising is second and final installment of this collaboration, and the band bring it home with a bang. Whereas the goal of This Machine Still Kills Fascists was to raise consciousness, Okemah Rising intends to raise the roof. It may have one or two tender moments, but all in all it's much more of a party. InchEven a party record can have a message though and we've felt that over the last few months as we've played 'Gotta Get to Peekskill' and 'I Know How It Feels' on tour all over the world. Every night, when the audience is singing along with Woody's words, his steadfast defense of the working class, and his fight against social injustice and the abuse of political power comes across loud and clear. So as long as Dropkick Murphys are involved, Woody's message will always be heard.Inch Album Tracks 1. My Eyes Are Gonna Shine 2. Gotta Get to Peekskill (Feat. Violent Femmes) 3. Watchin the World Go By 4. I Know How It Feels 5. Rippin Up the Boundary Line (Feat. Jesse Ahern) 6. Hear the Curfew Blowin 7. Bring It Home (Feat. Jaime Wyatt) 8. When I Was a Little Boy (Feat. Jaime Wyatt) 9. Run Hitler Run 10. I'm Shipping Up to Boston - Tulsa Version
