Laurie Anderson "Homeland"

No in depth review here but it is simply outstanding, ranking with the best recordings she has done.

More of a return to the narrative style's from United States era but with the savvy and wisdom gained from years as an artist and observer of the global/human condition.

Highly recommended.

Thanks for the tip, I didn't know she was still recording. Can't wait to listen and be moved!

From a quick pass on Napster it sounds like Lou Reed added some good guitar. Well titled reminder of the hallow Bush-ism "homeland".

Not many musicians tackling issues like Laurie.

Gee Dgarretson, then you must love the "-ism" that Obama has brought to the USA, specifically "Socialism".

Oh well, only two more years before he's gone!
Hopefully, he will not do too much damage before then.

Laurie Anderson is a very unique artist, her music is in a genere of one. I just finished recording her LP "Mr. Heartbreak" to tape on the reel. I will get "Homeland".
