Todd Rundgren performs Compassion from his 1981 Healing album live on the "Unpredictable Evening With Todd Rundgren" tour at the Saban Theater, Beverly Hills, CA November 26, 2014.
April 2015 Update: Todd Rundgren: On a ‘Global’ Mission to Save Planet Earth. One of the most prolific artists in rock, Todd Rundgren has never been satisfied just crafting hits like Hello, It’s Me, I Saw the Light and Bang the Drum All Day.
A multi-instrumentalist, producer, engineer and electronic music pioneer, Rundgren has fronted bands that include the Nazz and Utopia. On April 7th, Rundgren drops his 25th solo studio album: Global.
Rundgren, who plays all the instruments on Global, mines the rhythms of reggae, Philadelphia soul and prog rock to produce an album of memorable tunes with a message.
Tracks like This Island Earth, Holyland and Blind are wakeup calls to those who ignore the dangers of pollution and climate change. Malala Yousafzai, champion of education for Pakistani girls, and civil rights pioneer Rosa Parks are celebrated in Earth Mother.
Rundgren told Rock Cellar Magazine that it might take a catastrophe for people to do something about preserving the planet. And by then it will be too late.
