We are all Brothers and Sisters

“Outside the divides of the nations and states, above the perches in the churches, past the caste and class system that exploits and degrades…We are all Brothers and Sisters. Solidarity, love, and appreciation of others are the common themes of this compilation of 16 songs written and recorded by Mike Stout between 1985 and 2015. Mike sings about the power of brotherhood unity in his songs “People To People” and “Soldiers of Solidarity” and “When the Heyday was Here”. He thanks the people who fought for peace and justice in his tunes “You Were There For Me”, “My Kind of People”, and “Heroes of History”. He expresses his love for his family in folk ballads “309 Colony Blvd”, “Mayor of Cheapside”, and “You are my Brother, and I Love You”. In the country-rock “Kentucky” Mike fondly remembers his home state the land of his grandfathers. Included are two new releases “I’m so happy just to see you alive” a celebration of survivors and “First Responders” Mike’s tribute to the people who risk their lives every day to save others.
