GUEST,justin k rivers ADD: Songs from Utah Phillips' first album (26) RE: ADD: Songs from Utah Phillips' first album 24 Jan 22


Mark, I agree that it's not as bad as he thought. I sat through it yesterday and transcribed every song line by line, and I can see some good qualities in that material. The reason I wanted to share it with folks is because I think it fills in a missing part of his story, and the gap between that album and his coming to Caffe Lena (which is my neighborhood) is a story that I think is worth thinking about. I was even thinking of writing an article about it because Polly Stewart, before she passed away, did a lot of good research and interviews about the folk revival in Utah and what Bruce was up to back then, kind of showing that context he came from. And even in Nobody Knows Me you can see a lot of the things he cared about and the viewpoints he had, right there. Though maybe Yuri doesn't get picked up as a hit single.
