About the Artist
The preiminent folksong magazine, Sing Out!, stated recently, "When pressed for an example of the perfect modern American folksinger John McCutcheon is the first name that comes to mind." For over 30 years he has been in the forefront of the US folk music world. Thirty albums, documentary projects, film & television soundtracks, instructional materials, books, articles, legendary live performances and indefatigable activism...he is an endless source of creative energy. A world-reknowned master of the beautiful hammer dulcimer, he is a virtuoso on no less than eight other instruments. His songwriting has been hailed by critics and covered by singers throughout the globe. Wrap all this up in a rich baritone voice, a wicked sense of fun and an expansive sense of both history and possibility and you'll see why Sing Out's! praise is so well-deserved.
Album Description
Following on the heels of the incredibly popular 2003 release, "Hail to the Chief," John McCutcheon delivers another batch of hard-hitting, laugh-out-loud, timely songs in "Stand Up!" From aircraft carrier landings to duct tape, from Iraq to Alaska, from sending up Pat Robertson for "praying out a contradct on the Supreme Court" to honoring Vedran Smalovik's cello playing in the streets of Sarajevo, McCutcheon proves what an incisive eye, a wicked wit and a fierce intelligence can do with topcial songwriting. With "Hail to the Chief" he was called "...one of the very few and very best of our political songwriters."
