Folk legend, union organizer, songwriter and raconteur Utah Phillips, who recently passed away, was one f the great songwriters of the folk genre and his songs have been covered from everyone from Flatt & Scruggs, Kate Wolf and Joan Barz to Emmylou Harris, Ani diFranco and Tom Waits. But the foremost interpreter of his music has always been his old friend Rosalie Sorrels, a folk legend in her own right. Just before his death, Rosalie began creating this wonderful tribute with many songs that have never been recorded. Supporting Rosalie are great artists like Kate and Anna McGarrigle, Bryan Bowers, Peggy Seeger, Jay Ungar and Molly Mason, Madcat Ruth, the Sorry Muthas, Willie Murphy and Mitch Greenhill & Mayne Smith.
