“This is such a powerful compilation,” says writer Dave Eggers of Burning Heart: Songs for the Gulf. “For anyone who cares about the Gulf Coast, or hell, the United States of America, listening to this heartbroken album is a brutal emotional experience. But it’s also beautiful, and even inspiring, throughout. If Woody Guthrie were alive, this is the album he’d put together to lament and celebrate the state of our country. His spirit courses through every song.” |
