Michael Franti & Spearhead - All Rebel Rockers
The last album by Franti and his band, Yell Fire, was deliciously subversive—politically charged reggae sweetened by melodic hooks and bubbly rhythms. Here, the musician-activist offers a similar manifesto. Recorded in Jamaica with Sly & Robbie, the album features dub gems like “Rude Boys Back in Town” and the Clash-inspired “Soundsystem.” Two versions of the centerpiece “Hey World” offer such simple but inspiring messages as “let go of remote control,” “put up a fight” and “don’t give up.”
