From The Desk Of Glenn Morrow: “Jesus Was A Liberal”

Glenn Morrow is a Hoboken, N.J., music treasure. He owns the influential 31-year-old Bar/None label (Yo La Tengo, They Might Be Giants, Feelies, dB’s, Of Montreal). His bands, such as the Individuals and “a,” have helped put the Mile Square City on the indie-rock map for equally as long. His latest project is Glenn Morrow’s Cry For Help, which has a new self-titled album. Morrow will be guest editing magnetmagazine.com all week.

Morrow: Local Hoboken running buddies Elena Skye and Boo Reiners made a pretty great roots-rocking album this year with sympathetic production by Tom Beaujour. It’s great batch of songs that are well-written and emotionally powerful. They take a Buddy Holly groove through Blondie and Ramones territory and bring it back home with some updated twang in this true song of the times: “Jesus Was A Liberal.” Elena & Boo’s “Jesus Was a Liberal”
