Dropkick Murphys – Okemah Rising LP

Dropkick Murphys – Okemah Rising 

Okemah Rising is the final installment of the Woody Guthrie / Dropkick Murphys collaboration. Whereas the goal of This Machine Still Kills Fascists was to raise consciousness, Okemah Rising intends to raise the roof. Sure, it has one or two tender moments, but all in all it’s much more of a party than This Machine Still Kills Fascists. Even a party record can have a message though – so the band felt that on the road over the last few months as they played Okemah Rising songs “Gotta Get to Peekskill” and “I Know How It Feels” on tour all over the world. Every night, when the audience is singing along with Woody's words, his steadfast defense of the working class, and his fight against social injustice and the abuse of political power comes across loud and clear. So as long as Dropkick Murphys are involved, Woody’s message will always be heard.
