Albums of 2009: Street Sweeper Social Club
Another tasty blend of styles: Tom Morello fame of Rage Against The Machine and Audioslave teams up with the Hip Hop vocalist Boots Riley to create the explosive Funk Rock album / project “Street Sweeper Social Club” (also on MySpace).
They call their songs “revolutionary party jams” and add the following quote on their web site: “This is a time when the working class is being fleeced left and right. More families will be homeless and more people will be jobless. They’ll need something to listen to on their ipods while storming Wall Street.”
My personal favorites are “Clap for the Killers” (iTunes) and “Good Morning Mrs. Smith” (iTunes)
