More Info:

Singer/story teller Utah Phillips reunites with musician/producer Ani Difraco for a follow-up to their 1996 cross-generational collaboration, the Past Didn't Go Anywhere. This time around, Utah, Ani and her touring band settled into the living room of a 19th century mansion in New Orleans' French Quarter for two evenings of intimate, informal concerts before an audience of forty guests. The resulting collection of stories songs, poetry and spur-of-the-moment improvisation takes a fresh, intensely personal look at the long-hidden history of the modern American labor movement, celebrating activist-heroes like Mother Jones and Joe Hill and providing surprising new interpretations of such classic anthems as "Bread And Roses" and "The Internationale."
