“Toast to Freedom” is a music video dedicated to human rights activism around the world. Nearly 50 artists contributed to the video, celebrating Amnesty International’s 50th Anniversary. The basic tracks for “Toast to Freedom” were recorded at the legendary Levon Helm Studios in Woodstock, N.Y. One of the last studio recordings by the late Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member Levon Helm, it was also one of the closest to his heart.
The song continues a long relationship between Amnesty International and the creative community, which has helped spread the word of its mission almost from the start in 1961. Artists contributing to “Toast to Freedom” included: Levon Helm, Kris Kristofferson, Carly Simon, Angelique Kidjo, Ewan McGregor, Saul Hernandez, Donald Fagen, Warren Haynes, Keb Mo, Eric Burdon, Taj Mahal, Florent Pagny, Marianne Faithfull, Jane Birkin, Jimmy Barnes, Rosanne Cash, Shawn Mullins, the Blind Boys of Alabama and Gentleman, among others.
This piece includes a number of color photographs, as well as the “Toast to Freedom” HD music video, the “Making of Toast to Freedom” HD video and the “Toast to Freedom” (Long Version) HD music video.

“Hurry Up and Wait” is a photographic essay by artists James Tribble and Tracey Mancenido-Tribble, a poetic meditation about America’s trucking culture. With the long tradition of road photography in mind, the Tribbles spent over a year driving across the states as truck drivers. Their journey is documented here in photographs that range from portraits of drivers they encountered, to shots from the open road, in a year-long effort to understand the subculture that literally drives America’s consumerism. The photographs illuminate both the openness of the road and it’s lonesome journey, with images that bring new light to the harsh beauty in the world of a truck driver.
This piece includes a number of wonderful high-resolution color photographs, a slide show and Kris Kristofferson's music video, “This Old Road.”

For some people, our economy may be turning around, but millions of families are at risk of going hungry, in one of the richest nations on earth. The poorest people in America are those who were the first to feel the downturn, and will be the last to feel the country’s financial recovery. The hardworking poor in America’s heartland, with their long and deep traditions in mining, manufacturing and military service, are increasingly seen in food pantry lines, feeling ashamed and angry. Their stories and images push beyond stereotypes and reveal a hidden America of families living in poverty, which is both surprising and haunting.
This piece includes a number of emotionally moving photographs, a memorable slide show, three documentary short films about poverty in America and the Kris Kristofferson music video, “This Old Road.”

Kris Kristofferson has always been a reflective musician, thinking about the mysteries of the soul with honest observations about love, separation, loss and mortality. The soul, to which Kristofferson addresses the majority of his concerns on his excellent new album, “Closer To The Bone,” is something that he’ll still be trying to figure out until the very day of his final ache, his final breath and his last fading dream. He sounds solemn and intent on finally having reached some of the answers that he’s been seeking for so many long years. Most of the album revolves around simple guitar playing and simple melodies, which never fail to bring a sense of gravity into focus and to make all of his revelations sound as if they were there all along, but it just took an older him to finally see or hear them.
While his new album approaches the same profound issues as its much-acclaimed predecessor, “This Old Road,” the intimate sense of the new album strongly conveys a somber mood of reflection about where we all are at this end of life.
This piece includes a number of high-resolution photographs, a slide show and two music videos.
