Headless Heroes of the Apocalypse

Released

Jazz singer/songwriter Eugene McDaniels swings hard towards the political with one of the most radical LPs released on a major label such as Atlantic. With its alluring mixture of soul, funk, jazz, rock and folk influences, McDaniels uses his eight compositions to take on everything from American colonialism (“The Parasite”) to Christian hypocrisy (“Lovin’ Man”) to a not-so-thinly veiled jab at Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones (“Jagger the Dagger”).
