The Nightwatchman, which is the solo project from Tom Morello of Rage Against The Machine and Street Sweeper Social Club, has announced a new full length. The record is titled World Wide Rebel Songs and is due out August 30, 2011. The 12-track set is the follow up to the 2008 album The Fabled City and was produced by Morello. The track "Save The Hammer For The Man" was co-written with Ben Harper and features Harper on vocals and guitar. While Morello's solo albums as The Nightwatchman have primarily been acoustic affairs, World Wide Rebel Songs, features a full electric band, "The Freedom Fighter Orchestra" (comprised of Dave Gibbs on bass, Carl Restivo on guitar and piano, Chris Joyner on keyboard, and Eric Gardner on drums).
