$39.99

SPANNING 30 YEARS of studio, live, and rare recordings, Starlight on the Rails is the most complete collection of work ever released from folk music icon and “Golden Voice of the Great Southwest” Utah Phillips. This definitive set includes Utah’s personal reflections about each song. It also includes renditions of Utah’s songs by Kate Wolf, Rosalie Sorrels, and many others. Almost 5 hours on 4 CDs with a booklet included. It’s a must-have for any music collection, and available once again after being out-of-print for several years.

“For anyone who’s a fan of his work, this is a must- have purchase.” Chris Nickson, Allmusic.com

“Arguably the most important folk star to emerge after the ’60s revival, Phillips creates a 4 CD epic of music and story, recounting his life through his best songs. Intimate, droll, and fiercely felt, it is equal parts cultural history and musical memoir.” — The Boston Globe

“Utah Phillips is surely one of the nation’s most un forgettable characters, as will be attested to by people all over the U.S. who have heard him, guitar in hand, hold forth on the ways of the world. What a joy now to have his Songbook available. You will be going through it again and again.” —Pete Seeger

“Utah brings a message of defiance, disobedience, and solidarity . . . [and] reminds us of a history that we were not taught in schools and colleges. [His songs] tell us of people who, like us, seemed to be powerless before the might of corporations, but who struggled and fought back, and changed their lives.” —Howard Zinn, (Author of A People’s History of the United States)
