Fifty new, original songs, Three CDs. Five hundred years of cultural evolution. American Evolution is the story of America...past, present and future. How did America become the country it is? Where have we been? Where are we going? Inspired in part by Howard Zinn's landmark book 'A People's History of the United States' as well as the Dover Intelligent Design trial (Kitzmiller vs Dover School Board) which played out in his backyard, American Evolution tells the story of America through the eyes of working people, the "common" folks who have made this country great. It is a very different America from the one we learned about in history class and the one we see on Fox News. Volumes 1 and 2 are out now. Volume 3 will be released this fall.

View the YouTube video for Jefferson Pepper's 'Christmas in Fallujah' below.

Reviewer Malcolm Carter of Pennyblack Music (UK) picks Jefferson Pepper's American Evolution Volume 2 as his 2008 album of the year and American Evolution Volume 1 as the # 4 album of the year! A big thanks to Mr. Carter!
