The song, Deportees, is one of Woody Guthrie‘s most popular. It can be heard in musical sessions across the island of Ireland being made famous by Christy Moore here. It laments the way in which migrant workers, who cross the border from Mexico into the US, are used to harvest the crops before being deported, […]
They’re crazy. Plain and simple. Jethro Tull are as mad as hatters. Perhaps that’s why they’re so successful and renowned. They’re also damned fine musicians.

In the eighties, with the advent of MTV, ZZ Top were never off our screens. Their bluesy rock tracks provided the soundtrack for many young lives. Although their viking beards did not catch on, their sensational songs never went entirely out of fashion. Rebel Voice is of the opinion that good music never dies, and […]
