Have You Been to Jail for Justice? by Anne Feeney - Uhune

ALBUM Explicit

Pittsburgh-based Anne Feeney is a stubbornly left-leaning folkie of the old school. Her brand of musical rabble-rousing reaches back through the heyday of Woody Guthrie all the way to the long-ago era of Joe Hill. She's is a true believer who minces no words as she denounces capitalist greed and extols the class struggle. Have You Been to Jail For Justice? (2000) may be Feeney's best release, featuring a spirited mix of originals, tunes by like-minded friends, and assorted old-time labor standards. Feeney’s militancy is tempered by her satiric wit, evidenced in “C.E.O.s” (a sardonic farewell to fallen fat cats) and “The Corporate Welfare Song” (she’s not in favor of it…). She also has a knack for writing anthems — the title track in particular is a stirring reminder of America’s tradition of resistance. Though basically working in an acoustic folk mode, Feeney stretches out into Staple Singers-like gospel on “Rebuild America – Keep Hope Alive!” and reggae on “For Gene Debs.” Have You Been to Jail For Justice? isn’t an appropriate gift for a Rush Limbaugh fan, but if you share Feeney’s world view these songs are rousing and revivifying stuff.
