Powerhouse vocals, blistering guitars, killer horns, gospel flourishes, and unstoppable beats fuel scathing attacks on political and religious conservatives, corporate greed, and black-on-black violence, among other targets. (Rush Limbaugh even gets the Wild West ballad he so richly deserves.)

The result is an album steeped in vintage R&B and soul, but totally in tune with the here and now. These times call for outrage and insight, and Nona is not afraid to tell it like it is: There's "Oil On the Water" and she's got fire in her veins. You'll feel the fire, too—and the joy when she suggests "Let's Give Love a Try." Mutatis Mutandis means changing what needs to be changed, and Nona Hendryx is on the scene (and on tour!) to shake things up with both funk and fury.
