(Signature Sounds)
It's mellow rock meets folk/world music bona fides with strummer Tao Rodriguez-Seeger (Pete Seeger's grandson) singing the protest song "Solo le pido a Dios" in Spanish) on this latest album from the eclectic quintet. Michael Merenda sings the anti-war song "Alone on the Homestead" from a grieving woman's point of view, Ruth Unger sings the slightly anti-war, guyish who's-this-groupie? ditty "Tryin' to Remember What City I Know You From," and somehow covers of Nirvana's"Come as You Are" and the country classic "A Satisfied Mind" fit comfortably into the literate, socially conscious and surprisingly upbeat mix.
