Saturday Lucky Dip



This week's random album from the compilation section is Rebel Music - Sons of Protest and Insurrection which came free with Mojo magazine in November 2008.
It features protest songs from the worlds of soul, reggae, blues, hip hop and folk book ended by a couple of live tracks by The Clash
Soul is represented by The Impressions with Choice of Colours. Curtis Mayfield has featured on more that one occasion on CCM but this is The Impressions first outing.
We follow this with some World Punk with Rock El Casbah by Rachid Taha, the Algerian Joe Strummer

More random nonsense next Saturday

  1. Really enjoyed that double bill today CC - I would never have thought to listen to these in the usual run of things (but then I guess that's the point of a lucky dip!)

  3. I prefer the version by The Clash. Honestly. And what a great Curtis Mayfield track.

  4. Excellent Curtis Mayfield track. Seem to recall a great Robert Wyatt track on that CD as well...

    1. Good recall Scott - the track is Out of the Blue. I'm afraid it doesn't do much for me
