FookMovie creates Robin Hood video.
Rock and Blues Musicians Meet on
"Robin Hood, Where Are You Now?"
Song & Video


"Robin Hood, Where Are You Now?" is a musical antidote to economic blight and corporate greed. The rousing call-to-action track is performed by blues guitarist/vocalist Phil Gates with dynamic drumming from Jon Mattox and pulsating bass from Larry John McNally.

Fighting back against fiscal gluttony is the underlying theme to the song composed by Matt Forger, Gates, and McNally. While the lyrics argue for economic change in the USA, the track is a rocking blues number fueled by incendiary guitar work.


The recording sessions brought together leaders from the worlds of rock and blues.

Gates is the president of the Los Angeles Blues Society, leader of his own award-winning band, and has played on recordings by a wide variety of artists, including Philip Bailey and The Stylistics.

Mattox, formerly of the Young Dubliners, has a decade of success providing the beat for independent artists as well as tracks in numerous commercials, film trailers and soundtracks.

McNally is a highly respected solo artist whose latest album is "Buddy Holly" and whose songs appear on albums by Bonnie Raitt, The Eagles, and Aaron Neville.


Forger - Producer and co-writer Matt Forger has worked with artists Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney, and with producers Quincy Jones, Giorgio Moroder, Keith Forsey, Harold Faltermeyer, George Duke, Rod Temperton, and Bruce Swedien. Matt has also worked extensively with Japanese superstar Yuming, serving as recording engineer, mixer, and co-producer on 13 albums that entered the Billboard chart at #1.

The "Robin Hood" song is available in multiple versions on iTunes and two of them are featured in music videos on YouTube. The first was co-directed by Zayde Naquib and The G-Man. The second version was produced and directed by the FookMovie collective. Both videos contain footage taken inside two Los Angeles recording studios, Bright Orange Studios and Anisound.


While the tune is toe-tapping, there is a social and political context for the song. "There are corporate executives who are receiving tens of millions in compensation," notes Forger. "Meanwhile, those same corporations are outsourcing jobs, laying off workers, cutting benefits, and lowering salaries. We need the spirit of Robin Hood to protect us against these robber barons of the 21st century and put our country back on track."

Ideas in the song parallel those in the Michael Moore film, "Capitalism: A Love Story."
