The CD consists of Woody Guthrie songs, ones he never recorded, actually there were just lyrics. Natalie "The Nation is my favortie mag" Merchant lends her vocals. On the back of the cd, there's a picture of Woody and his guitar which has "This Machine Kills Fascists" written on it.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>If you are into punk like I am, you MUST buy Rancid's new CD Life Won't Wait. The album cover is reminiscent of Neil Young's After the Gold Rush.</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
