Review

Spin (10/99, p.170) - 6 out of 10 - "...offers a genial tour of the struggles that have defined American labor activism....Phillips is surrounded with all kinds of diverse musical atmospheres....perfect for those who need a little Tom Jones with their Mother Jones."
CMJ (5/17/99, p.25) - "...DiFranco and her touring band serve as [Phillips'] musical backing, picking out skeletal note patterns and strumming warm, resonant chords while the grizzled old-timer details the struggles of activist heroes...in his uneven, off-the-cuff style..."
Dirty Linen (10-11/99, p.61) - "...more of an organic collaboration....The labor movement and Wobbly principles, which are the backbone of this thought-provoking album, still have a resonance for today, even though so much has changed during the course of the century."

Title Note

Personnel: Utah Phillips (vocals, acoustic guitar); Ani DiFranco (vocals, acoustic, tenor, baritone & steel guitars, banjo, mandolin, thumb piano, percussion); Jason Mercer (vocals, banjo, acoustic bass, percussion); Julie Wolf (vocals, piano, Fender Rhodes piano, Wurlitzer piano, organ, melodica, percussion); Daren Hahn (vocals, drums, percussion); Andrew Gilchrist, Ethan Allen (vocals); Dave Pirner (trumpet).

Recorded at Kingsway, New Orleans, Louisiana. Includes liner notes by Howard Zinn.

FELLOW WORKERS was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album.

Though veteran folkie Utah Phillips is old enough to be DiFranco's grandfather, the two have much in common. They both believe in music as a tool for social change, practicing the art of folk music in the manner of politically motivated artists like Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger. The socialist tinge of the title is borne out in Phillips's decidedly leftist politics, and his young colleague echoes his sentiments. Most of FELLOW WORKERS features Phillips telling stories about the struggle of the working man against a capitalist overdog, over the percolating "folk-funk" of DiFranco and her band. Despite the inherent potential for didacticism in such a project, Phillips's warm humanism and DiFranco's unerring sense of rhythm make this an album whose pleasures are both aesthetic and ideological.
