"Downtown Baghdad Blues" by Black 47
They are a band that is best described as an unblinkingly political and thoroughly Irish form of rock 'n roll. Their songs cover a range of topics from the Northern Ireland conflict to civil rights and unrest in contemporary New York.
What sets them apart from the other bands? Their sound is unique. Their music can be humerous and informative, political and fun. Black 47 earned their chops playing the pub scene in Manhattan and self-producing their first indie record. Now, nine albums later, they are still playing what was hailed by Billboard magazine as "a wicked blend of Celtic music, ska and roots rock."
Yeah...it is that good.
