Tracy Chapman – Talkin’ Bout A Revolution
Tracy Chapman was a huge talent, but has sadly disappeared from public of late. Rebel Voice wonders where she has gone to. This song is every bit as relevant today in Ireland, Scotland, England and the US as it was when first released. So what has changed in our societies?

Sinéad O’Connor And The Chieftains – The Foggy Dew
This is a great rendition of the famous rebel ballad. The movie footage helps the atmosphere. Heady days indeed.
