vacuum's Full Review: DiFranco, Ani
"the past didn't go anywhere" is a collaboration between Ani DiFranco and Utah Phillips. Utah is a storyteller and self-admitted folk-singer, and this album is a remix by Ani of many hours of Utah's stories. He sent her a box full of cassettes of stories he told at live concerts, and she cleaned it up, selected a few from many, put down rhythm
tracks and music. The liner notes say it was three weeks work.

This is topnotch stuff. Utah tells some great stories all by himself, and Ani makes him groove.

Best line from the disc:

"If I cannot dictate the conditions of my work, I will henceforth cease to labor."

try that out at your next job interview

thanks

Ed
