Annie Bullock, Ronald Barnes & Dennis Wood - James Howard Kunstlers Alladin An His Magic Lamp

Review by Dale Nash

Annie Bullock, Ronald Barnes, and Dennis Wood have come together to create a unique and enchanting album, James Howard Kunstlers Alladin An His Magic Lamp. The album is a musical interpretation of Kunstler's book, The Long Emergency, and explores the themes of peak oil, climate change, and the collapse of modern civilization.

The music is a blend of different genres, including folk, rock, and world music, and features a variety of instruments such as acoustic guitars, mandolins, and percussion. The vocals are haunting and evoke a sense of longing and urgency.

The album is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on the story of Aladdin and the second part exploring the consequences of peak oil and climate change. The songs in the first part are playful and upbeat, while the second part is more somber and introspective.

James Howard Kunstlers Alladin An His Magic Lamp is a thought-provoking and beautifully crafted album that is sure to appeal to fans of folk and rock music. The collaboration between Bullock, Barnes, and Wood is seamless, and the result is a truly unique and captivating musical experience.
