PRIZONER is an album by Doc Mustard that is primarily concerned with enlightenment. No monotonous contemporary dross as these songs embrace various musical styles, incorporating rock, jazz, reggae, folk and electronica.
No such variety of topics though as only a couple of the 17 offerings are of a romantic nature the majority of this collection is concerned with social comment on the state of un/civilisation today.
'If They Were Animals' is a powerful song about care for the elderly expressed with an equally jawdropping video on YouTube.
'The Facts' rocks on about the topic of global warfare, whereas 'The Smile On My Face' provides a delicate acoustic guitar picked autobiographical composition. 'I Can't Help' also finds him telling his tale, but this time with a laid back funkrock feel.
For those of you who have been brainwashed into using the media mantra 'conspiracy theory', Doc Mustard makes it perfectly clear in the songs 'Apathy', 'Zeitgeist', 'Too Scared' and 'Bilderberg Boogie' what exactly is being pumped out of the TV tube at you.
This is uplifting music for worldly wise revolutionaries who are rarely catered for in the competition for million selling albums'
Expect lavish synth soundscape intros and lashings of soulful slide guitar. Expect bubbling bouncy basslines woven into groovy drumbeats.
'The Black Stone Club' is a story of treachery and backstabbing arising from his own personal experience of sibling rivalry.
Here is a songwriter committed to providing a musical environment for freedom revolutionaries who find themselves imprisoned in a world that they never made.
