5.0 out of 5 stars If you like Utah, you'll really like this one., November 7, 1999

I was introduced to Utah by Ani DiFranco with The Past Didn't Go Anywhere. I loved it and went out and bought this cd. I listen to it quite a bit. This cd talks about war and politics and has really influenced my thoughts about the u.s government and politics in general. Buy it!

This review is from: I've Got to Know (Audio CD)

The fervent folkie who has toured with Ani DiFranco, U. Utah Phillips 1991 recording "I've Got To Know" has just been re-released on Daemon Records. Quoted as saying "My car won't run on Blood", in response to the first Gulf war, Phillips is an avid pacifist; singing and fuming about war and peace. The re-issue reflects the current times, and with the exception of the title track by Woodie Guthrie, (whom he acknowledges in the recording) it shines through as remarkably original and poignant. Guthrie's influences can clearly be heard throughout the 33 track album. Produced by Dakota Sid Clifford, the album is nearly half spoken word, interspersed with credited poetry and ranting.

A lot of spoken word on this CD, which is all right if that is what one is looking for. Also much is commentary on politics and war which is dated (although I agree with his opinions).
