Bacharach teams up with Dre for protest album

Burt Bacharach has teamed up with rapper Dr Dre for a new album of passionate protest songs.

Bacharach, 77, known for classic pop songs like Alfie and Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head, says several tracks are critical of President Bush.

Dr Dre provides drum loops on three of the tracks on the album, At This Time, while other contributors include Elvis Costello and Rufus Wainwright.

Bacharach said: "People ask why a man who has been known for writing love songs all of his life is suddenly rocking the boat.

A friend of Bacharach said: "Burt's pissed at the administration, concerned about the world he is leaving to his children, and you can feel it."
