CD Reviews

The long-awaited follow-up to "Comic Sutra."

(4 out of 5 stars)

""Homeland" works best when played in conjunction with his other recent release "Security." Both CDs take a critical, but funny look, at the political and social climate in the US since 9/11. Songs like "Let's Go After the Buddhists" and "Jerry Falwell's God" skewer some of the uglier aspects of conventional wisdom, while remaining very funny. Not all the songs are political. For instance, "Would You Let Me" gives the listener one side of a marital spat that goes absolutely nowhere. Roy's delivery is dead on perfect as a husband who can't even finish anything he starts to say to his wife. I recommend strongly that you listen to this with someone you love.I've seen Roy Zimmerman in concert twice, and these CDs catch some of the energy of his live performances (most of the tracks are recorded live). In addition to having a wonderful knack for lyrical humor, Zimmerman is a terrific guitarist."
