2011 - Music that speaks to society's ills and injustices
seems like a long abandoned practice. Not since the days of BOB DYLAN
have singer-songwriters stuck it to corporate greed but now you can
count Scottish singer songwriter FINLAY MORTON as one of the few if not
the only one. Despite hailing from across the Atlantic,
MORTON draws much of his musical inspiration from America's finest and
dare I say rootsier songwriters and boasts a delivery that recalls J.J.
CALE. For his forthcoming CD HARVEST THE WIND, (the follow up to his
2005 release INTERPRET THIS), FINLAY addresses ecological concerns with
the title track, gives corporations the middle finger with DON'T CRY
FOR CORPORATE AMERICA and bursts the bubble with CHASING THE AMERICAN
DREAM. ADVERTiSEMENT:

WWW.FiNLAYMORTON.COM ABOUT THE HOST:  BRIAN
LUSH holds a BA in Creative Writing from the UNIVERSITY OF
NEW MEXICO. He established ROCKWIRED on New Years of 2004 and hasn’t
looked back
since. He is currently the host of all of ROCKWIRED.COM's programming
which includes such shows as ROCKWIRED RADIO PROFILES and ROCKWIRED
FREE FORM RADIO. As
program producer for ROCKWiRED.COM, LUSH is hands-on when it
comes to
interviewing and building a lasting rapport with the artists that come
ROCKWiRED’s
way. As a youngster, BRIAN LUSH had no idea what kind of seed was being
planted
by reading magazines such as HIT PARADE, HIGH TIMES, SPIN, REQUEST
(remember
that one?) and even ROLLING STONE.
“Those were the days before the internet and being a rock journalist
looked
like the coolest job imaginable.” says LUSH “But reading these
magazines had me
imagining that one day I’d be the artist giving all of the clever
answers to
some poor guy with a tape recorder. Well, life has a way of surprising
you.
Now, I’m the poor guy with the tape recorder and asking all of the
questions.”CONTACT BRiAN LUSH
