"One of the things that Amnesty International does is help to empower people both one at a time and sometimes by the thousands...that is one of the reasons that I am a supporter of your fine organization." - Tom Morello

It's been said that if you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything. Those words have never been lost on Tom Morello, a musical insurrectionist who has continually pushed sonic boundaries since he burst onto the '90s alt-rock scene as a member of Grammy Award-winning band Rage Against The Machine. Revered for the otherworldly fretmanship displayed on seminal RATM recordings, and subsequent recorded work with Audioslave, Street Sweeper Social Club, and The Nightwatchman, Morello is also an outspoken political activist who's never been afraid to speak his mind and fight the power. For Live at Lime with Tom Morello: The Nightwatchman, a release benefiting Amnesty International, the master axeman presents two striking acoustic covers: a gorgeous, sparse rendition of The Killers' "Human" and "Joe Hill," a classic folk song based on a poem written by Alfred Hayes in 1925 about Swedish-American labor activist Joe Hill. ¡Viva la Revolución!
