John Sinclair - Beatnik Youth '2017

Tracks list

Detroit's Iconic 'White Panther' introduces himself as 'a beatnik, dope fiend,
poet provocateur, race traitor and renegade. Living from hand to mouth and euro
to euro, sleeping on the couches and extra beds of my friends. A man without a
country and a post office box in New Orleans for a permanent address.' Reciting
his beat poetry in a sub-baritone growl, John waxes lyrical about John Lennon,
Thelonious Monk, Kerouac, Ginsberg and Burroughs, and issues a libertarian's
charter on 'Ain't Nobody's Business.' Beautiful two disc CD containing 13 songs
produced by Youth, who plays bass in Killing Joke and has worked with artists
like The Orb, The Verve, U2, Pink Floyd, and Crowded House. Beatnik Youth ranges
from raucous rock 'n' roll to psychedelic jazz and abstract soundscapes.
Throughout, Sinclair's voice functions as an anchor, taking on an American
social landscape bursting with civil unrest and self-reinvention as Youth's
modernist production swirls around him. Immortalized by John Lennon's 1972 song
that bears his name, Sinclair is an iconic figure of '60s counterculture, famous
for, among other things, having co-founded the White Panther Party and for
managing Detroit's legendary leftist proto-punk outfit the MC5.
