What the World Needs Now
Burt Bacharach has the answer to that question - a protest album collaboration with artists such as Rufus Wainwright and Dr. Dre. That's right - Burt Bacharach and Dr. Dre.
Legendary songwriter Burt Bacharach has "things he needs to say"; this time around though it seems love wont do, with a salvo aimed directly at the Bush administration with his new protest album "At This Time".Sometimes, there are no words. That's just one of the weirdest things I've heard this month. Bacharach and Dre.Set for release through Columbia Records on November 1, the new set features a host of major guest stars, as well as a 25-piece backing orchestra. It's also the first time Bacharach has written lyrics to his music.
"People ask why a man who has been known for writing love songs all of his life is suddenly rocking the boat," Bacharach says. "I had to do it. This is very personal to me, and this is the most passionate album I have ever made.
I won't buy the album (not a big fan of schmaltz) but if iTunes has samples, I'm there.
