n. (fight song English)
Wikipedia
Fight Songs is the fourth studio album by American alternative country band Old 97's, first released on April 27, 1999. It features the song "Murder (Or a Heart Attack)", which was named one of the top songs of all time by Blender magazine.
The group's second record on Elektra Records, Fight Songs is more slick and pop-oriented than the group's previous efforts, a trend continued on 2001's Satellite Rides. The song "Crash on the Barrelhead" is rumored to be targeted at alt-country rival, Ryan Adams, while "Murder..." was inspired by a cat owned by singer Miller's roommate in Los Angeles.
Fight Songs is a compilation of songs by Billy Bragg that had previously been released as free digital downloads. This album was released in October 2011. Most of the songs are political in nature, but a Christmas song, "We’re Following the Wrong Star", is also included.
Describing why he decided to release this album, Bragg said... "Since I started giving away music for free on the internet in 2002 with The Price of Oil, I’ve felt a little bit like I’ve been pissing in the wind, so to speak, that the ideas that I’ve been putting out there have not really been in keeping with what’s going on in the music industry. But the last couple of years, since the crash in 2008, I think the idea of polemical songs has become more and more relevant, so it now seems like a good time to collect these together and make them available for people who may only have tuned in a few years ago."
Fight Songs is an EP by The For Carnation, released on April 6, 1995 by Matador Records.
