about

This mostly acoustic album includes many original songs written by Catfish John that are political in nature or carry a message. Although he is primarily considered to be a blues musician, he has also written many political songs concerning the environment, inequality, propaganda, civil disobedience and other topics. Some of the songs in this collection were written and recorded many years ago, but are still valid comments on our society today. There are also several songs written more recently such as, "It's A Lie", "Life's A Bitch", and "Narcissistic President". Some other traditional protest style songs are included as well.
