Various - Farmaid Keep America Growing

Review by Janell Pennebaker

Farmaid Keep America Growing is a fantastic album by Various that showcases the best of country and folk music. The album features a diverse range of artists, from Willie Nelson and John Mellencamp to Dave Matthews and Neil Young, and each artist brings their unique style to the table. The songs on the album are all inspired by the Farm Aid organization, which works to support family farmers and promote sustainable agriculture.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Family Farm" by Willie Nelson, which is a heartfelt tribute to the hardworking farmers who keep America fed. Another highlight is "Rain on the Scarecrow" by John Mellencamp, which is a powerful protest song about the struggles of small farmers in the face of corporate agriculture. Dave Matthews also delivers a strong performance on "Don't Drink the Water," which is a haunting ballad about the environmental impact of industrial farming.
