Nancy McCallion: Buy

"The CD was inspired by a photography show I saw at the U of A Student Union a couple of years ago; “Unseen America,” a traveling, national documentary exhibit program of the Bread and Roses Cultural Project featuring photos and essays by the working poor. After seeing the exhibit I went home and wrote “Take a Picture of Me,” the title track of the CD. Then I stewed on the idea for 2 years. It wasn't until I was laid off from my teaching job last summer that my personal angst (trying to decide between keeping my healthcare insurance and keeping my house) inspired me to finish the rest of the songs for the project. I thought it fitting to use photos from the exhibit on my CD and dedicate some of the profits to The Primavera Foundation after I was rehired and given a reprieve from slipping through those ever widening social cracks."
