Heart and Soul for Complicated Times
author: Jokie X Wilson
These folks have been around the block more than a few times and have managed to make sense of it all with sensitivity and humor. We can't walk away from the difficulties of life, but we can render them more bearable and we can get off our buns and make changes, even if only small ones. All this is to the tune of charming folksy music that will make you laugh and bring a tear to your eye.
As you may have determined by the titles to the songs, they have an anti-war bent. But they also have a very pro-soldier, support-our-troops perspective. All of the performers are members of Veterans for Peace. After you listen to this CD, you'll want to hug the next soldier you see.
Peace and Love! :-{D}

and I didn't think there was a song for us. . .
author: Doug Nelson
I have been rather chagrined over the years at what I thought was a lack of a definitive Viet Nam war song. Now this - Touch a Name . . I was moved to tears. My thanks to Joel Mabus for writing it and to my fellow Veterans for Peace chapter members Annie and the Vets for their from-the-heart performance.

Great 60's era anit-war tunes!!
author: 240rwilk
Every song is very relevant to what is going on today and very reminisent of what went on 40 years ago. The political tone of this CD is very important. It's too bad that main stream radio will never play the tunes.

as a frita = friend of the ritas, resisters inside the armies - from way back, often feel i'm too old for much of the post 1946 music... (apparently my face dropping as heard the switch in sgt pepper's ? band around line 3... was a missed filming opportunity)
these songs - listening as type - to "connecticut yankee" (thinking of mark twain)
go with me all their way !
right on !
