Dropkick Murphys - Okemah Rising

Dummy Luck Music - DLM003LP

Dropkick Murphys continue their journey interpreting the work of Woody Guthrie for a new generation with the release of Okemah Rising. The 10-track album takes off from 2022's This Machine Still Kills Fascists, on which Dropkick Murphys write original music around previously-unpublished lyrics of the late Guthrie in a unique collaboration, with the band finding a common philosophy in the timeless and timely lyrics of the "original punk."

Joined by trusted collaborator and producer Ted Hutt, Dropkick Murphys channeled Guthrie's spirit during the recording sessions in Tulsa. And much like on This Machine Still Kills Fascists, Dropkick Murphys welcomed guest artists on Okemah Rising to help propel Woody's words, including folk punk legends Violent Femmes, fellow Boston rebel Jesse Ahern, and country songstress Jaime Wyatt.

Okemah Rising is the final acoustic release from Dropkick Murphys' recording sessions in Tulsa. This era in the band's history will be captured in a documentary following their journey writing, recording, and performing the 20 songs they've crafted around Woody's never-before-seen lyrics for these two albums.
