What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library



Sure hard to label this one, so I always end up here when that's the case. Barely a passing grade here for me from the Canadian ex-folkie. But then most artists are tapped out after 14 albums and there are a couple of excellent tracks. Still a sub-par effort, and that's being nice. Showing up with some backing vocals are Michael McDonald, Thomas Dolby, Don Henley and James Taylor to drag it up a little. Charted at #63 U.S. with Good Friends the only single which barely charted. Typical leftist political rants, with a standout for me being Ethiopia, about what else, world hunger.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Smokin' (Empty, Try Another)

Best Track - Ethiopa

Hot winds and hunger cries-Ethiopia
Flies in your babies' eyes-Ethiopia
Walking sticks on burning plains
Betrayed by politics
Abandoned by the rains
On and on-the human need
On and on-the human greed profanes
Ethiopia-Ethiopia-Ethiopia

Your top soil flies away-Ethiopia
We pump ours full of poison spray-Ethiopia
Between the brown skies and sprinkling lawns
I hear the whine of chain saws
Hacking rain forests down
On and on-insanities
On and on-Short sighted greed abounds
Ethiopia-Ethiopia-Ethiopia

Little garden planet-oasis in space
Some hearts hurt-they can hardly stand it
Famine phantoms at the garden gates
Ethiopia-Ethiopia-Ethiopia

Every Sunday on T.V.-Ethiopia
You suffer with such dignity-Ethiopia
A T.V. star with a P.R. smile
Calls your baby "it" while strolling
Through your tragic trials
On and on-stupidity
On and on-the basic needs are defiled
Good air-good water-good earth
Ethiopia-Ethiopia-Ethiopia

Little garden planet-oasis in space
Some hearts hurt-they can hardly stand the waste
Ethiopia-Ethiopia-Ethiopia
