Looking for the perfect gift for that friend or family member whose love of music is only surpassed by their love for President-Elect Barack Obama? Or maybe you have some conservative friends who nonetheless sided with the winning team? Or even conservative friends you'd like to gloat over just a wee bit? Well, have I got a gift for you:
Yes We Can: Voices Of A Grassroots Movement.
The Huffington Post is calling this "
Obama's Victory Album" and it may as well be. This album -- available as either an MP3 download, a CD, or even a limited-edition vinyl record -- features eighteen tracks from the artists that helped Obama get his message across. Unlike his opponent, who used music without permission and even against the wishes of the musicians, Obama had not only permission but the active support of many musicians.
This album includes songs by Stevie Wonder, Dave Stewart, John Mayer, Los Lonely Boys, and Keb' Mo'. A second album is planned, with music that didn't fit on this one. So whether you want to share your joy with your fellow hopefuls or taunt those on the other side of the aisle,
Yes We Can would make a great gift.
