Working For The Usa

For anyone into the acoustic singer-songwriter guitar genre, this is a great example. Just 8 songs long, this award winning album is an outstanding example of the songwriting craft. His musical range can be seen in going from the feel good 'Live For The Moment' to the great ballad of 'the Best of Friends'.

The CD was recorded at Phil Rudd's Mountain Studio. The album shows off Steve's great voice, intelligent songwriting, interesting chord structures and pleasing arrangements. Tim Page/NZ Musician Review 'Working for the USA' Protest music has strong ties to tradition and national identity. It works as a tool to unite people and does so by identifying common traits among them. Steve Cooke, though he is originally from the UK has an uncanny knack for creating music that gets to the roots of American identity. Steve Cooke's song Working for the USA, addresses a lot of the issues at play in the Occupy Wall Street protest. The lyrics reflect the conflict at the heart of protest - the inequality between blue collar workers and the white collar executives that profit from their hard labor. It's an ultimately uplifting track though, whose unifying message calls on everybody to work together to make a better America. CBS Music/MP3.com.
