Dropkick Murphys – This Machine Still Kills Fascists (Clear Vinyl) Supply

Dropkick Murphys history with Woody Guthrie dates back decades, from covering Gonna Be A Blackout Tonight on their 2003 album Blackout, to using some of Guthrie s writing about Boston in their immortal hit I m Shipping Up To Boston . But on their latest album, This Machine Still Kills Fascists, Dropkick Murphys have crafted an entire record around the seminal American folk icon, bringing Woody Guthrie s perennial jabs at life-many of which are from the 1940s and 50s-into the present, with the resulting music eerily relevant to today s world. The idea for the collaboration had been percolating between Guthrie s daughter Nora and the band for more than a decade, with Nora curating a collection of her father s never before-published lyrics for the band over the years. The result is one of Dropkick Murphys most unique releases, and the culmination of two like-minded rebellious artists collaborating, albeit nearly a century apart.
