Product Description
Amazon.com
One thing you know you'll get from Franti and Spearhead is a certain kind of crystal clarity--on the production, musicianship, and, of course, in the righteous political message. Released two years after Franti traveled by himself to war-ravaged Baghdad, Gaza Strip, and the West Bank, each of these songs deals with the human cost of war poignantly and pointedly. The lyrics may seem simplistic when removed from the songs--"Those who start wars never fight them/And those who fight wars never like them" and "The F15 is a homicide bomber"--but very few artists have the honesty and balls that Franti does. Bless him for that. Spearhead might lose credibility with some by tying Peter Tosh's chant to "legalize it" to their call for revolution, but those folks are not in the target demographic, anyway. Those who are will thoroughly dig this. From the jam band accents of "Time to Go Home" to the reggae of "Light Up Ya Lighter" to the U2-ish ballad "I Know I'm Not Alone," it's easily Franti's best album yet. --Mike McGonigal
Album Description
Michael Franti's socially inspired lyrics and Spearhead's infectious mix of classic Reggae, Soul, Funk and Hip-Hop combine forces for this highly anticipated new album "Yell Fire!". Franti first gained mainstream attention here in the 90's as founder of the Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy, he is much loved in Australia and his past two full-length albums "Everybody Deserves Music" and "Stay Human" have both enjoyed gold sales (35,000+). Michael was recently in town to launch his first feature film "I Know I'm Not Alone", the film and this album were inspired by his trip to Iraq, Israel and Palestine. "Yell Fire!" is a powerful and thought provoking album that will not only appeal to current fans but is sure to find new ones also. (His last 2 studio albums have achieved Gold status).
