Album Notes

For all of you that say we need good music to go along with the environmental movement, we've got good news. In conjunction with the Rainforest Action Network Freedom From Oil Campaign and with the 'stop climate change' actions occurring all over the country, The Longhairz Collective has released their new single "Burning."

"In your high class Ford on the hot asphalt, why you faking like you have to haul if you’re just trying to have it all? We're burning dinoasaur bones..."

A melodic and insightful groove, "Burning" serves as a stark warning of our addiction to oil and of subsequent global climate change.

The Long Hairz Collective formed in Ann Arbor in 2001 to create a unique and inspiring blend of folk and hip-hop, blues and poetry. The Long Hairz are known throughout the Midwest for getting the crowd singing, smiling, grooving, and feeling.

Jim Embry, founder of the Sustainable Communities Initiative, has this to say of The Long Hairz Collective:

"Open your ears and lay bare your heart..allow these sounds to enter and heal the far reaches of your inner space...so that your spirit can dance in rhythm with the cosmic clock and restore the sacred connections with all our relations."

Come cool off from a scorching winter evening with music from The Long Hairz. Uplifting. Funky. Eclectic. Moving.

"Burning" was produced in cooperation with the Rainforest Action Network.
