It is nothing new for popular musicians to throw their support behind
a presidential candidate. Waldo Brumholder and the Whigettes were on
the campaign trail for President William Henry Harrison. Frank Sinatra
crooned for President John F. Kennedy. Toby Keith wailed in his own
patriotic way for President George W. Bush in 2004. However, none of
these examples can compare to the massive outpouring of support
provided to Barack Obama in his 2008 bid for the presidency.
Not only is the support huge, nearly 40 bands/artists signed on to the
project, the content itself is certainly worth a listen and it gets
the message out there. Remember this is all about a presidential
campaign and the appearance of Barack Obama's compilation collection,
entitled Barackin' 44, at #1 on the Billboard Album Chart assures that
those people who may have been snuggled up with their iPod whilst
hiding under a rock during the past year of presidential campaigning
will now be introduced to Barack Obama's name at the very least.
