The CD was popular, likely due to Garnet's name being on it, and 'Black-eyed Susan' was covered by a number of artists in the US. I believe it was the first CD they ever released (previous titles were released in vinyl and cassette formats). The CD was released on Snowgoose Records, Garnet's label. Dave Essig played mandolin and slide guitar.

I sang and played guitar and Garnet played violin, viola, electric & acoustic guitars, guitar synthesizer and bass. The songs were: Merlin, Break the Law, Isle Madelaine, The Siege of Toronto, Bullwhip Jack & the Silver Bell, There is a River, Bank the Fire, Thief in the Night, Ships at Sea, Black-eyed Susan, Wino Breath, Chella, The Un-named City. At any rate, it was great for me, playing opening act to sold out houses and a real opportunity to see the country again. Coyly we named the CD: Doug McArthur with Garnet Rogers. Garnet is an excellent accompaniest (as he proved in Stan's band) and I think he missed that role as his solo career blossomed. We were playing a lot together so it made sense to do a CD. In doing so, African American Political Thought: A Collected History transforms how we understand the past and future of political thinking in the West.I did a lot of touring with Garnet at this time and he recorded a couple of my tunes: 'Break the Law', 'Black-eyed Susan' on his first album. This landmark volume gives us the opportunity to tap into the myriad and nuanced political theories central to Black life. While African American political thought is inextricable from the historical movement of American political thought, this volume stresses the individuality of Black thinkers, the transnational and diasporic consciousness, and how individual speakers and writers draw on various traditions simultaneously to broaden our conception of African American political ideas. Du Bois, James Baldwin, Toni Morrison, and Audre Lorde, whose works are addressed by scholars such as Farah Jasmin Griffin, Robert Gooding-Williams, Michael Dawson, Nick Bromell, Neil Roberts, and Lawrie Balfour. The collected essays consider such figures as Martin Delany, Ida B.

Rogers and Jack Turner have brought together leading scholars to reflect on individual intellectuals from the past four centuries, developing their list with an expansive approach to political expression. African American Political Thought offers an unprecedented philosophical history of thinkers from the African American community and African diaspora who have addressed the central issues of political life: democracy, race, violence, liberation, solidarity, and mass political action.
