We all usually hear the blues talkin' about women, alcoholism, hard times and sometimes about monkeys (see Junior Wells song, "She Wants to Sell my Monkey".
However Popa Chubby, a great blues guitarist, wrote this very political blues record called the "Un-American Blues" from his album "Peace, Love, &; Respect". It's discussing Bush era (the song is from 2004) politics, the war in Iraq, and Islamophobia.
I heard this off of a CD of modern blues artists a while back. I love the guitar work and how he interpolates the American national anthem into the song. Chubby is a fine guitarist in his own right!
I don't have the original on me right now, however below is a very close live rendition of the song. Hope you enjoy this blues-rock number!
