SIster Oh Sister CD Project
Thanks for taking the time to check out my latest
project. I have been doing what I do for
quite a while now. During that time,
many things have happened to shape me into who I am today. Among the earliest
consciousness-shaping events in my life were two trips that I took to
Washington, DC from my home in Wilmington, Delaware. This was in the fall of 1972 and the summer
of 1973.
The first time was to march with my brothers and
sisters in the American Indian Movement on the Trail of Broken Treaties and the
second was in support of the Equal Rights Amendment, which still hasn’t been
ratified. So, when a friend of mine asked me to do something to draw attention
to the terrible things that were happening on Indian reservations out West,
especially with the elders, women and children, this resonated deeply with
feelings that I had been carrying for over 40 years.
When you have a few moments, please go to my website
and check out my new CD “Sister, Oh, Sister”.
This CD is the result of my friend’s request. The songs on this recording are songs that
draw attention to a number of social and political issues that affect not only
Indians and women, but ultimately all of us. Issues such as domestic violence,
addiction, poverty, sexual identity, environmental destruction and the legacy
of Wounded Knee. There are also spiritual songs about peace, love, native pride
and the uplifting of all that is feminine in nature – some of my favorite
subjects.
Throughout my career, politics, social issues and
community activism have always been important to me. I have supported and continue to support many
groups and causes, but I need to re-establish myself. After more than a decade off the road and being
involved in other aspects of life and volunteer work, it is time once again for
me to hit the trail. But, times have changed and things are not being done the
way they used to be. These are songs and
issues that need to be taken to the people directly. I need to go out and sing these songs and go
from town to town, meeting folks and talking about the issues that are going on
in all of our lives.
I also need to get better distribution of my music,
find a manager and an agent, and then mount a tour - an ongoing tour - with
periodic breaks, of course. I want to
have discussions and hold meetings and do benefits and fund-raisers all along
the way. I want to do my best to
educate, enlighten, entertain and hopefully inspire others to do their part in
making their community a better place to live. But, as I said, things have
changed. The music business is a totally
different animal, and we are in a totally different zoo. The ideas that I am proposing cost money. The days of big corporations supporting this
kind of project have sadly gone the way of The Beatles and Sitting Bull.
And that is why I am asking for your help. It costs a lot of money to be an independent
artist. The music is finished and touring plans are being made. So, if you
believe in the things I am talking and singing about, then I ask you to please
make a donation today. And, please feel
free to share this with your friends. You can find more information about all
of this at “Kenny Mullins dot com”.
Thank you all for your kindness, faith and support.
