The Clinton Administration consists of some of today's brightest stars in the world of jam bands. This loose contingent of highly talented players has gotten to together for the second time to record some of the greatest songs from the catalog of Sly and The Family Stone. Stanton Moore (Galactic); Charlie Hitchcock (Particle); Robert Walter, Chuck Prada and Cochemea (Cheme) Gastelum from 20th Congress; and Eric Levy, Fareed Haque and Kai Eckhardt from Garaj Mahal all join guitar great, Michael Lee Firkins, to put new life into some of Sly's best material. The songs are familiar but the grooves are new. The Clinton Administration has the talent to make the arrangements fresh and the soul to make you remember how special these songs are.

Produced, Engineered and Mixed By Robert Berry At Soundtek Studios - Campbell, CA
