Accomplished New York City avant-garde/experimental jazz guitarist Marc Ribot has announced that he will be releasing an anti-Trump album titled Songs of Resistance 1942-2018, featuring guest spots from the likes of Tom Waits, Steve Earle, Meshell Ndegeocello, Justin Vivian Bond, Fay Victor, Ohene Cornelius and Sam Amidon.

“Every movement which has ever won anything has had songs,” he cites. The record will be seeing a September 14 release via ANTI- Records. Ribot’s plan for the album was reportedly “to assemble a set of songs that spoke to this political moment with appropriate ambition, passion, and fury.”

Songs of Resistance 1942-2018 Track List
1. We Are Soldiers in the Army
2. Bella Ciao (Goodbye Beautiful)
3. Srinivas
4. How to Walk in Freedom
5. Rata de dos Patas

10. Knock That Statue Down
11. We’ll Never Turn Back

Along with the announcement comes lead single from the album, titled “Srinivas,” featuring folk rock legend Steve Earle, Domenica Fossati and Tift Merritt.

The song is apparently a “metered version of news articles” on the Sikh immigrant Srinivas Kuchibhotla, who was murdered in February of 2017 by a racist who mistook him for a Muslim. “In the original version,” Ribot points out, “I had named the guy who shot him, but Steve changed that—he said, ‘That guy is just some poor idiot, it’s not about him, it’s about the ones who set him up.’ That kind of intelligence and wisdom coming from the artist was important to me.”

“There’s no way Steve Earle is going to be a sock puppet for anyone else’s voice, and that’s exactly the kind of situation I wanted,” Ribot emphasized. “It’s cool to have professional protest singers and all that, but I wanted to include artists who reached outside the ‘protest’ bubble.”
