Vic Sadot: I have some timely topical songs that to release on CD. Maybe one of them will move you to action. I’ve been recording some new music projects for the last 3 years with a talented sidekick named Eric Golub. I don’t think I’m going to get these studio cuts out as fast… or as soon without requesting participation in this “Truth Troubadour” CD Project!

Here are some highlights!

NO NUKE BLUES FUKUSHIMA UPDATE – If you an Anti-Nuke activist, then you know damn well that these nuke plants are un unacceptable risk! You may want to help me get my new “No Nuke Blues – Fukushima Update” released on CD! Getting alternative radio airplay!

AN ACT OF STATE: THE EXECUTION OF MARTIN LUTHER KING – I wrote this one after reading William Pepper’s book by the same title. The purpose of this song was to make people of what was in the book about the King Family’s 1999 trial victory in Memphis, TN, the same town where MLK was gunned down in 1968. The song highlights just a few of the startling discoveries that came out in that trial. After hearing this song, you may be someone who thinks it is important that this song about Martin Luther King reaches a wider audience. It was a delight to get a thank you from William Pepper. It’s posted by the music video link!

FULL SPECTRUM DOMINANCE – Maybe you don’t want to live in a post 9/11 surveillance state where you have no Bill of Rights; where the Empire destroys your Republic. If so, help me get a good studio quality mixdown of “Full Spectrum Dominance” out there! I couldn’t wait… So I used the raw track to put out a music video already, and its doing well!   

THE HARBOR OF LOVE - Maybe it’s this love song that you’d like to know you helped get into the distribution mix! This new Berkeley, CA recording is just me on vocals and acoustic guitar… with my buddy Eric Golub on viola and ukulele. It can put you in the mood! 

MASTERS OF WAR is one of them! It’s a little shorter and less morose than Bob Dylan’s original one… But it has the same meaning and urgency today! You can hear the raw mix version of Masters of War at Eric Golub SoundCloud! 

We also have a version of John Lennon’s WORKING CLASS HERO that could fit on this CD! We did some Phil Ochs songs and are likely to pick one! I met and interviewed Phil Ochs in 1973. In 2015 I made a video from that audio that you can watch on YouTube. 

I have a good track record of finishing these projects I set out to do. I used to put out a paper fundraising flyer. I’ll do a quick run through on what I’ve released in the past. The covers on these items are what we can use for T-shirt premiums from my Crazy Planet Café Press Store.

We need to buy studio time for (1) mix down and mastering work; (2) some license rights for a few cover songs; and (3) we have to pay DiscMakers and CD Baby to get my product factory pressed and “professionally packaged”! 

We’ll create some perks. But the main things you get from backing this project would be the CD, and the good feeling of getting some thought provoking songs out there. We’ll create perks as the formula at IndieGoGo calls for… Note: The T-shirt perks are a little expensive for us to make since they are unique custom T-shirts with the cover art from past Vic Sadot CD, LP, and 45 single releases. Good gifts for those who have all the necessary stuff already! The on-line store for these items is already set up as Vic Sadot Crazy Planet T-Shirt Shop at Café Press. I show them in this video. 

This IndieGoGo Fundraising Drive for a Vic Sadot CD to be titled “Truth Troubadour” is being launched on May 28 to run to July 6. We will scale our product to what we can afford. A1000 copy run seems reasonable. 100 is the minimum. More can always be ordered if needed. 

There would need to be a CD release party concert for our supporters. Hope to see you there! I hope to have this new  "Truth Troubadour" CD out by my birthday, July 21!
