Spearhead

Label: Anti
Genre: Folk, Funk, Other

Michael Franti is the one of those rare singers whose boomin' growl can start a party as quickly as it can a protest (probably about time for him to update his 1992 cover of "California Uber Alles"). His latest Spearhead joint comes on the heels of his self-booked trip to Iraq, which is documented on the DVD I Know I'm Not Alone. His experience, which included performances for U.S. soldiers and Iraqi families alike, clearly shaped the album's compassionate ("I Know I'm Not Alone") and passionate ("Yell Fire") flavors of rebellion.
