Tim Cronin has a voice like Makers Mark Whiskey being poured on roadrash. Painfully comforting, you might say. These guys are brilliant and politically perfect in every way. Buy their record.

Vagabond, raconteur, sometime Ani DiFranco fellow traveler, and unrepentant political lefty, Utah Phillips happily admits, as he interrupts his performance of "Railroading on the Great Divide," that no one plays much real folk music anymore because, when you get down to it, folk music is boring. Phillips may well have a point, but then again, Phillips isn't so much a folksinger as a storyteller in the folk tradition. And his stories, whether sung or spoken, are anything but boring. More often than not, they are absurdly funny. With a warm, craggy tone that sounds as familiar as a grandpa's voice, Phillips strings together a crazy-quilt collection of slightly surreal tall tales that cover everything from IWW union drives to big-time wrestling competitions to the fecal fantasies of ants. In many ways a best-of collection (the 13 cuts on this CD were gathered from over 20 years of live recordings), Phillips' stories have a way of ending unexpectedly. And where they end up is a very good place, indeed. --Percy Keegan

Not His Best Stories, But That Doesn't Say Much.......1999-08-19

Utah Phillips is many things. An absolutely wonderful storyteller is one of them. This disc collects a bunch of his stories from various and sundry live shows over the past twenty some-odd years. While this would usually be call for massive celebration, this album collects a bunch of stories that, frankly, might have been better off left uncollected. Many of the endings are predictable, and Phillips resorts to the crude punchline a few too many times for my taste. But through it all, he is still a marvelous storyteller, and he understands the timing and craft of humor as well as the best standup comics. If you've heard him before, and you want some new stories, grab it. If you're new to him, try "The Past Didn't Go Anywhere," his collaboration with Ani DiFranco, or "Loafer's Glory," his collaboration with Mark Ross.
