Smother, CD Review >>
Named and inspired from a four-part PBS documentary
hosted by Robert Redford, “The New Heroes” is an inspiring
look at the globe’s social entrepreneurs whether its folks
who rescue brutalized and enslaved children in India, the
introduction of a low-cost manual water pump in Kenya that
doubled the yield of a small farm, Egyptian schools for the
disabled, and a Bangladesh bank whose billion dollars worth
of loans to millions of poor families required no
collateral. As interesting as the documentary is, the
soundtrack is just as fascinating. Hedge wore binaural
microphones in his ears so that as he travels he can record
things exactly as he hears them. The album is a merging
between traditional folk-rock and worldbeat and truly is the
perfect soundtrack for such an illuminating series. 06/14/05 >> go there
