Review

One of the most ambitious activist recordings to emerge in some time, Well May the World Go succeeds politically, emotionally, and artistically. Wrapping a pastiche of musical styles and social messages in a warmly acoustic, atmospheric sound, veteran folk troubadour Larry Long threads together sacred Native American chant, Asian bamboo tones, classical violin, Persian dumbek drumming, Zairian guitar, and a plentiful range of American roots music, including jazz, R&B, even a field recording of Pete Seeger. Songs about workers' rights in Texas, the Ku Klux Klan, Brazilian romance, Somalian civil war, glasnost, and Anishinabeg land claims segue, one to the next, on a dreamlike musical stream. What might have resulted in a hodgepodge of politics and world-beat samples is a fascinatingly coherent portrait of the human struggle. The only risk lies in forgetting the politics and losing yourself in all the fertile, imaginative music. --Roy Kasten
