What I did say about Woody Guthrie to start off this review is that his name deserves to be more in the conversation as one of the fathers of country music, and concluded this positive review with a congratulatory salutation to the album’s creators. If I had some political aim or bent here, I probably wouldn’t have reviewed this record at all.

This Machine Still Kills Fascists’ is not just a beautiful collaboration between kindred spirits, it is also a solid album that shows the Murphys exploring their acoustic side, which is something they have only done sporadically up until now. And they must have liked it, because they recorded not one, but two albums, with Vol. 2 scheduled for release in 2023.

Next up on the album is “Never Git Drunk No More”, which Casey duets with American country singer-songwriter Nikki Lane. The song is about a guy who cannot shake his demons and promises to stop drinking for his love; she responds in repeated disbelief and threats of leaving him. It is a song as old as time, especially for those barely scraping by. Lane’s beautiful and haunting voice pairs perfectly with Casey’s in this tragic love song, but who does the singer love more, his girl or the drink?Leitch, Donovan (2007).

Dreams are just how we would like things to be, with life, love and happiness and the dreams are free- but lies cost us dear, with broken hearts and tears, so which one do you think hurts the most?- Promises they’ve made, or the lies we’ve been told? Pittsburgh-based Punk band Anti-Flag's 2001 album Underground Network includes a song entitled "This Machine Kills Fascists" [14] The band also explored Guthrie’s hometown of Okemah, Oklahoma. Visiting the town allowed Casey and the band to connect with the lyrics and feel like Guthrie was helping them. The title of the album comes from " This machine kills fascists", a slogan that Guthrie used to write on his guitars.

Circa 1943, in the midst of World War II, Guthrie wrote the war song "Talking Hitler's Head Off Blues." This was printed in the Daily Worker, a newspaper published by the Communist Party USA. Then, according to biographer Anne E. Neimark, "In a fit of patriotism and faith in the impact of the song, he painted on his guitar THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS."

I just feel like it makes what we're doing all that more important because you can't cower from it,” he says. “You got to speak up against it and you got to be ready to be there and tell it like it is.”

The recording sessions for This Machine Still Kills Fascists yielded more than one album’s worth of material, and now the Boston punk mainstays have released a second batch of Guthrie-penned tunes, Okemah Rising. This record shows that sometimes there’s no such thing as too much of a good thing: Okemah Rising is a helluva good listen and just as effective as its predecessor. Brown, Jennifer M. (2008-09-12).

Donovan put the message "This machine kills" on his guitar, leaving off the word "fascists"; he explained in his autobiography, "I dropped the last word, thinking fascism was already dead." [12]

I listened briefly to the two videos, I’m not impressed. I’m not into inauthentic… Woody Guthrie was authentic. However, I really liked Springsteen’s live version of This Land- was the performance authentic? I think it was. In this, Guthrie cast those opposing fascism not as mere outlaws in a fascist state, but as heroes rising "in times of economic turmoil and social disintegration" to fight "a highly illegitimate criminal endeavor intended to exploit the common people." [3] Guthrie portrayed these characters as something larger than merely "dumb gangsters," while his lyricism also "externalized the inhuman element of fascism by describing its representatives as animals that were usually held in very low esteem and were associated with a range of bad character traits." [3] For example, he talked about the "Nazi Snake" that has to be countered in his song "Talking Hitler's Head Off Blues". [3] Guthrie would declare "[a]nything human is anti Hitler" and in his song "You Better Get Ready" he has the figure of Satan declare that "Old Hell just ain't the same/Compared to Hitler, hell, I'm tame!" [3] Guthrie saw the battle against fascism as the ultimate battle of good versus evil. In a letter to "Railroad Pete" he stated "fascism and freedom are the only two sides battling... [this was the war] the world has been waiting on for twenty five million years... [which would] settle the score once and for all." [3] Legacy [ edit ] Colin Huggins's grand piano The words fascist, communist, anti-semite, racist, etc., are way over used in an attempt to *cancel* out, or evade a discussion… and guess who prompts that behavior? Projectionist, that’s who. During the making of the album, frontman Ken Casey and the band met with Guthrie’s daughter, Nora, and her son, Cole. Originally, Casey worried Guthrie’s family would reject every idea the band had. Talking Jukebox” is the second song. Now, Ian and I have differing opinions as to the meaning of the song: on its face, the song is about the experiences of the frequent bar patron, something that so many in the working class were in Guthrie’s time. It talks about knowing everything about the patrons, knowing their stories, their desires and their secrets. The evocative lines express:
