Dropkick Murphys - For The People [CD]

On Dropkick Murphys' 13th studio album, the stories run deep, the memories push hard, and the joy remains infectious. Across the album’s 12 songs, the Boston band imbue the same kind of joy one might celebrate with family and friends. And even when the moods are sad and pensive, it’s hard not to feel personally invested in the band’s emotional spectrum. For The People shows courage and confidence, speaking up against the injustices happening in the United States, doing so with the strength and power that harkens back to Dropkick Murphys’ earliest punk rock roots. Whether it’s politics, family, friends or simply “life,” Dropkick Murphys continue to write music that regular people can identify with. The poignant album cover was created by renowned social/political artist Shepard Fairey's design firm Studio Number One, and the album was produced and mixed by longtime Dropkick Murphys collaborator Ted Hutt.

For The People includes guest features form Mary Wallopers, The Scratch, Bill Bragg, and original band member Al Barr.
