John Trudell - AKA Grafitti Man (Remastered) '1992/2017

Tracks list

Poet John Trudells first major release incorporates rock & roll, blues, and
traditional Native American music to create a compelling backdrop for his views
on society, love, loss, and life in this country as a Native American. The
opening track, Rockin the Res, kicks off the record with an Indian chant, before
a barrage of drums, bass, and guitar set the stage for Trudell, and the tone for
the rest of the album. Although this is spoken word, musically these pieces are
songs and not meandering ideas. Trudells lyrics, voice, and timing also fit well
with the music and never seem forced. The title cut, with its scenes of the
streets, materialism, and corporate America; Bombs Over Baghdad, his
condemnation of the Gulf War; and Baby Boom Che, which concisely sums up an
entire generation with Elvis as their leader, are among the many highlights.
This is an evocative piece of work that rocks. Jackson Browne, Kris
Kristofferson, and Steven Soles (Alpha Band) guest on vocals. ~ Brett Hartenbach
