Hail to the Thief II: is released! The very talented and dedicated pro-labor, anti-Bush folk singers, George Mann and Julius Margolin, have released their latest compilation. "Hail to the Thief II: Songs to Send Bush Packing!" is both humorous and serious. It takes on the upcoming election, contemporary issues, the right wing agenda and certainly aims directly at George W. Bush. The twenty track compilation features some of folk music's best known artists including Tom Paxton, Utah Phillips, Kim and Reggie Harris, the duo Magpie and Faith Petric. Also featured on the CD are hardworking, traveling folk musicians such as Steve Brooks, Joe Jencks, Mark Levy, Amy Martin, Lisa Rogers, and the new duo “emma’s revolution”, which features Pat Humphries and Sandy O.
