Absolute must hear this: The Haunted Windchimes, A Ballad Of Human Progress:

Ballad of Human Progress
(I. Lujan)
There’s an old country road, leads to a river
An old wooden fence, surrounds all the sinners
Who stand by their graves
wonderin’ what they done wrong
There’s a train whistle blowing
Across a fiery dessert
In search for the New Land
There treacherous weather
Is headin’ for the mountain
To preach a brand new way
And it’s full of politicians, bankers and lawyers
A fast talking man, been armed to destroy us
And keep us from the truth
Consume, consume, consume.
Lies, lies
Don’t believe them, don’t believe them
and westward the head
Ravaging the villages
They burn all the dead
Their world is for the privileged
And you’re not one of them
You’re just a number
So they came up with races, boarders and fences
And job occupations, and classifications
Their aimed to conquer, divide, divide, divide
Lies, lies
Don’t believe them, don’t believe them
We’re just one race, one color, one number
We’re just one man, one father, one mother
We must unite, before they take our lives

Rolling Stones: Play With Fire

Old pirates, yes, they rob I;
Sold I to the merchant ships,
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pit.
But my hand was made strong
By the ‘and of the Almighty.
We forward in this generation
Triumphantly.
Won’t you help to sing
This songs of freedom
‘Cause all I ever have:
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs.
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;
None but ourselves can free our minds.
Have no fear for atomic energy,
‘Cause none of them can stop the time.
How long shall they kill our prophets,
While we stand aside and look? Ooh!
Some say it’s just a part of it:
We’ve got to fullfil the book.
Won’t you help to sing
This songs of freedom-
‘Cause all I ever have:
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs.
—
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;
None but ourselves can free our mind.
Wo! Have no fear for atomic energy,
‘Cause none of them-a can-a stop-a the time.
How long shall they kill our prophets,
While we stand aside and look?
Yes, some say it’s just a part of it:
We’ve got to fullfil the book.
Won’t you have to sing
This songs of freedom? -
‘Cause all I ever had:
Redemption songs -
All I ever had:
Redemption songs:
These songs of freedom,
Songs of freedom.

Look at this gem I discovered:

This is Gary Brooker’s “other band” which I recorded at Club Riga in Southend-On-Sea, UK, on Dec. 11, 2010. In the band are: Gary Brooker, voice, piano and organ; Andy Fairweather Lowe, voice and guitar; Paul Beavis, drums Dave Bronze, bass and voice; Frank Mead, saxes, harmonicas, flute, percussion and vocal. That’s CHRIS COPPING who performed with PROCOL HARUM and THE PARAMOUNTS on organ. This of course was a huge hit for PROCOL HARUM

And then I cam e across this:
