Undercover Girl - Yvonne Moore
One of my favorite background music streams for working is Radio Swiss Jazz. I discovered the station a few years ago while in Basel, and they have an app to stream worldwide.
I just heard this and I really like this singer. She is Swiss. I have just added her discography to my Spotify library and look forward to enjoying more of her work.
I also see that she has an album called Working Class Heroes, which I will listen to shortly.
The most essential music is conceived by real human beings: ordinary, anonymous, often poor—people who stood up and joined together to fight injustice and institutional oppression. This is the story of Working-Class Heroes, a collection of American working-class, pre–World War II folk songs revived by Mat Callahan & Yvonne Moore. Here the duo presents 20 songs written by both by folk canon heavyweights and lesser-known but equally gifted songwriters . Both beautiful and emotionally arresting, the album is a collection of stories as much as songs—stories of the women and men who (sometimes literally) gave their lives to emancipate the working class.
