The election is upon us, and words and music are more important now than ever. The musical duo Rogers & Butler offers their thoughts in this vivacious tune.
Edward Rogers remarked, “I’m usually not a political person, but last week I wrote the lyrics to this song and Steve jumped on it and provided the music.”
“This is kind of our ‘Ohio’ which Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young wrote, recorded and released within a week many years ago. We think it delivers a message for today’s current political situation,” Rogers explained.
Judging from the lyrics, vocals, and the music, the duo was right. The song’s message is socially and culturally relevant and significant. It is a reminder that people need to get out there and vote. It garners two thumbs up. Well done.
Steve Butler is on vocals on the first two verses and he also plays guitar, bass, and keyboards. Edward sings the third verse and the chorus has both. Don Piper plays rhythm guitar, backing vocals, percussion, and David Uosikkinen plays the drums. The song was mastered by David Downham at the Gradwell House Recording Studio.
