Deborah Van Kleef- Work In Progress (CD)

Stories of working people, some poignant, others wryly humorous, make up this 15-track collection of old-time, traditional and contemporary songs, some original, others by Woody Guthrie, Billy Bragg, Malvina Reynolds, James Keelaghan and others. Includes Van Kleef’s “Great Fast Food Strike,” performed by Pete Seeger at the Smithsonian Folkways 50th anniversary concert, and featured on Utah Phillips’ syndicated program, “Loafer’s Glory.”
