A new solo acoustic live version of "Set the
World Ablaze" is now available as a free
download!
This song, released in May
2011, is a protest piece about the
underhanded, unethical (and illegal?)
tactics used by some of the most prominent
and powerful figures in American finance. By
"tactics" I mean maneuvers going back for
years that ultimately played directly into
causing the worldwide Financial Meltdown of
late 2008, which has caused so much hardship
for so many individuals. (Many others will be
harmed for years to come.) It has been
called The Wall Street Collapse although not
much collapsing seems to have actually taken
place on Wall Street itself. Many of the top
players have in fact profited "big time"
from our tax payer-funded bail out. --
Steve Forbert November 2011
The new
studio master is still available from our
download site and you can download the
live acoustic version, recorded in Moab, UT
on November 6, 2011, below.
