| Appleseed Recordings Tenth Anniversary Jim Musselman, founder and president of Appleseed Recordings, celebrates his label's 10 year anniversary this Tuesday with the release of 'Sowing the Seeds - The 10th Anniversary.' The 2-CD, 37-track album features the first recorded collaboration between American musical legends Pete Seeger and Bruce Springsteen as well as exclusive new songs from Ani DiFranco and Donovan and performances by Wyclef Jean, Roger McGuinn, Jackson Browne, David Bromberg and more. The set is split into two "themed" discs of sociopolitical issues (Disc 1 "And Justice for All") and songs of optimism (Disc 2 "Love, Hope and Appleseed") by a veritable "Who's Who" of socially aware musicians. "In celebrating Appleseed's tenth anniversary, we want to pay tribute to the politically active artists here - and to non-musical activists as well - who are unafraid to fight the good fight for social justice and positive change", explains Musselman. "Many of the musicians on this compilation were on the front lines of the major social movements of the last 50 years. We salute all who have challenged our skewed domestic and foreign policies and have championed peace, environmental preservation, civil rights, the women's movement and other vital issues." write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Jazz News :: home page |
