Really Good music

[mdguss]

Jay Farrar's cd Stone, Steel and Bright Lights has a really great first song "Doesn't Have to Be," which lists the failures of the Bush administration. Sample lyric, "A poor man's wages carry their feet/a dead soldier today in the sweltering heat/a dynasty in power/and election by decree, ain't this new world a shame...I keep feeling it doesn't have to be this way."

It's alt country/rock/slightly folk music. But it's a great CD (comes with a DVD too) and it's worth the 15 bucks. Farrar is one of the better song writers in America in my view
