Two grand masters of American topical folk present this unique 1996 collection of songs and stories about the labor struggle in America's mines, mills and factories -- a side of our history that's usually omitted from the history books! Rosalie presents some of the words of organizer Aunt Molly Jackson, and her great song I Am a Union Woman... as well as gems by her friend Malvina Reynolds: Carolina Cotton Mill and Bury Me In My Overalls. Utah Phillips, the subject of several tribute projects himself (including one by Ani DiFranco) tells and sings about Mother Jones and Nevada Jane and much more. Anyone working for justice will love the detail and depth of this educational and inspirational piece."
