Burning Bush: Music For Regime Change! Six Song Sampler To Support Progressive Politics and Media Education/Democracy Work Rob's six song acoustic sampler features the new song "Burning Bush," which pokes fun at Bushisms, critiques Bush administration policies, and compares the current president-select with Biblical heroes of yore. The CD includes five other Williams originals from three different CDs, from the humorous ("Bovine Revolution") to the funky ("Between the Raindrops") to the topical ("Kill Your Television"). As a life-long Christian Democratic progressive, I offer this "Burning Bush" sound byte to the world: "Mr. Bush's religious fundamentalism, leisured life of privilege, and relentless pursuit of policies that enrich the few at the expense of the many all run counter to both Biblical messages and democratic practices. Its time for Americans to demand that politicians and large multi-national corporations stop using Jesus as cover for shameless wealth and power grabs." $2.00 from each Burning Bush CD sold will be donated to the Action Coalition for Media Education (ACME), an organization championing critical media literacy education, independent media production, and grassroots media reform.

"Remember the Day" showcases tight harmonies and songwriting at once intimate and memorable. Pop-filled melodies infuse "Skipping Stones" and "Anyway," while "Curve Ball," "Little Brother," and "Grammy’s Song" explore the ambiguities buried within human relationships.

Tell Me Rob recorded this first CD in New Mexico on the heels of finalist appearances at the Telluride Bluegrass and Rocky Mountain Folk Festivals during summer 1993. Tasty musical harmonies and fine musicianship from a wide variety of musical guests enhance a number of the songs, including "Between The Raindrops," "All I Want," and the ever-popular "Bovine Revolution." VENUE magazine noted that "Williams’ folky numbers capture deep emotions so playfully that you just can’t resist," while MICLINE magazine explained that his first CD is "an album for all occasions – road trips, dinner parties, campfires and romantic evenings. Bravo!"
