Former Disposable Hero of Hiphoprisy star Michael Franti has released eight studio albums with his band Spearhead
Their 6th All Rebel Rockers from 2008 is their most successful to date and has a lovely reggae feel to it - hardly surprising really given that Sly and Robbie are at the controls.
Cherine Anderson and Marie Daulne also pitch up to assist in the vocals department.
Around this time Franti even found time to play at three different events to commemorate Barrack Obama's inauguration.

Say Hey was everywhere for a while...inescapable. That was alright though. I like it.
ReplyDeleteHa, I am married to a Cathcart.
Michael Franti should be a household name. But the world sucks, so he isn't...
ReplyDeleteHe is one of those artists who has kind of slipped by my radar over the years. But this is a terrific album
