notes

Listening to his new CD, No Freedom, Honey, is to hear the roaring machines in the marrow of Martin Jack Rosenblum's poetry, in the DNA of his consciousness. He recorded it under the name the Holy Ranger, which he describes as a "mythopoetic entity" he created as a kid. Compounded from his spiritual heritage and western movies, images of the Holy Ranger haunted such poems as "The Assumption" (1970) and his book The Werewolf Sequence (1974) as "the archetypal American person."
Dave Luhrssen, Shepherd Express.

No Freedom, Honey contains rarities (including two singles), out-takes (versions of songs never before released that were recorded for previous albums)and alternate versions (of songs on previous albums) as well as innovative new material.
Produced by Michael Hoffmann, with Victor DeLorenzo of the Violent Femmes on various tracks, this album was released for a concert with Eric Burdon of the Animals fame and then went into limited distribution.
Hailed by Dick Dale as a poet's dream with a guitar-driven wake-up call, No Freedom, Honey is a unified collection from previously uncollected works but also contains new songs that appear only on this album.

    I went home to find this album after your show. For me, the highway turned blond and old years ago, but No Freedom Honey still sounds as true as it did back then. There still is no freedom for those outside the slave labor that is making money, and that makes me think of the prairie. Great songs.

    Good harmonica playing! It's like watching someone paint a moving train with an oversized brush! Where in Milwaukee does one play this music...?

  • Pure poetry shot through with wild music
    author: Guadalupe Review

    There are no rules for poetry, nor for music, dreams, or the reach of a harmonica into the soul's pocket to pull out a silk handkerchief, and birds, bright meteors stream forth. Magic lies in the power of imagination making worlds, and the Holy Ranger --angel and demon mixed-- does put his hand on you, cuts to the bone, and sends you down on the spirit farm.

  • You definitely got a hand on me.

    Wow... what can I say, after hearing this album, except that I'm blown away. Good words to describe the music are: potent, aware, bound, and timeless but precise. If I still had the eyesight I once cherished, I could imagine nothing greater than to watch these songs unfold live from the author himself. Thank you, to everyone whose contributions have helped to create this album, and in turn, made it possible for me to come across it.
