Songs from the Locked Ward, released October, 2009, is an album of protest music against the horrors and abuses of psychiatry. My inspiration for these 19 songs comes from ten years of work as a therapist in New York City—listening to clients tell their tales.  Also, I was a therapy client myself—and had my own share of painful experiences there.

All songs written and performed by Daniel Mackler.
Length:  56:03
