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

Tracks list

	       Poet John Trudell's 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. Trudell's 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
