The excitable, viciously sardonic folk of David Rovics has been compared to the late, great Phil Ochs, but he strikes us more like a manic and even more political Bruce Springsteen. Tortured by the injustices perpetrated by the American government upon its citizens, he wanders around with his guitar slung on his back (actually, we’ve never seen him with his guitar slung on his back, but we choose to believe he wanders around that way, the camera focused on his butt) preaching morality and sanity to those who still wish to listen. Always backed by an aggressive folk beat, his range of lyrics and lyrical styles is very wide – we’ve presented some acerbic satire for your amusement, but he writes all sort of morality tales. And it’ll be easy for you to learn more, because David presents all his music for free, allowing free download and distribution, at his web site, www.davidrovics.com. So if you like his tunes, why don’t you drop him a donation of any size with the button below? This site takes no cut. —JP
