Chip Taylor's 'New Song Of Freedom' An Anthem For Election Season

New York, NY. (Top40 Charts/ Shore Fire Media) - Singer/songwriter Chip Taylor's track "New Song of Freedom" from his recent album 'New Songs of Freedom' is an extraordinarily prescient statement on the state of the country headed into an election:

Don't worry about the straddle of the right-wing radical just heed the speed of the vulture
Don't cross the border for political order and upset the balance of culture
Just keep your eyes on the ozone and the price of oil
Don't worry about the stock market, let it fall
The warming of the seas, and the hybrid cars
Was there ever an ocean up there on Mars
Oh, the new song of freedom, just let it go-it'll get there on its' own

Taylor will play the Americana Music Conference in Nashville on Friday, September 19th at Mercy Lounge at 8pm, performing with his "New Songs of Freedom" band, featuring Chip on vocals and acoustic guitar, Joe Mcmahan (electric guitar), Ron Eoff (bass), Tony Leone (Ollabelle, Ricky Lee Jones) and Audrey Martells (Donna Summer) on backing vocals.

Chip Taylor blazed a path in the '60s and is still going strong today. Rather than rest on an impressive musical legacy, Taylor continues to create songs with contemporary resonance and timeless appeal.
England's The Guardian urges, "Chip Taylor, like Johnny Cash, is well worth rediscovering by a new generation."
Mojo magazine awards his new CD four stars, raving, "No question, 'New Songs of Freedom' is his finest album ever, by miles."
Taylor has written a vast catalog of unforgettable songs, including the archetypal garage-band song "Wild Thing" and the soulful pop-country number "Angel of the Morning," and artists as varied as Willie Nelson, Jeff Beck, Frank Sinatra and X have all covered the troubadour's tunes.
