A soundtrack for violent times. Protest music for a new day.

(r)evolution I was largely wrapped around the theme of gun violence.

(r)evolution II is war.

(r)evolution III is media control.

(r)evolution IV is racism and geopolitical corruption.

(r)evolution V is hope and transcendence.

I recorded this years ago, but it never gets old.
