Music. Politics. An incredible greatest hits collection from the best of the new generation of singer/songwriters. "In these days of ongoing neo-conservatism he carries the torch of dissent and protest - in fact if the great Phil Ochs were to come back from the dead tonight he'd probably be hailed as the new David Rovics." [Andy Kershaw, BBC Radio 3] David Rovics is no stranger to the picket line and North American protest scene, bringing his guitar and songs to support those who struggle for change. A prolific songwriter, this greatest hits package takes, over 70 minutes, the best from his first 6 self-released CDs, together with 3 previously unreleased tracks specially recorded for this collection.

David Rovics has been called the musical voice of the progressive movement in the US. Amy Goodman has called him "the musical version of Democracy Now!" Since the mid-90's Rovics has spent most of his time on the road, playing hundreds of shows every year throughout North America, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East and Japan. He and his songs have been featured on national radio programs in the US, Canada, Britain, Ireland, Italy, Sweden, Denmark and elsewhere.
