Singer/songwriter James McMurtry is once again making a political statement through his music. On his new song “Cheney’s Toy,” McMurtry picks up where he left off with his controversial anthem “We Can’t Make it Here.” “Cheney’s Toy” reminds us that the war in Iraq is still going on — with veiled references to Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib and the stark image of a soldier who returned from the conflict, blind and brain damaged. In order to make sure people get the message, McMurtry is giving away the song for free today, exclusively through eMusic’s Daily Download.
