Murray,
I think if you knew of Utah Phillips, you would have guesed it was a typo. U. Utah Phillips (aka Bruce Phillips) is a folk-singer from the USA's great mid-west "out where men are men and the sheep are nervous."
Utah is in declining health, but he is a legend in his own time. He is cut from the classic pine of labor organizer, hobo, philospher, and folk-singer. He writes songs and performs some classics as well. He is neither short on opinions nor shy about letting you know what they are. A true character.
