A 21st century folksinger and songwriter in the <a href="spotify:artist:4rAgFKtlTr66ic18YZZyF1">Woody Guthrie</a>/<a href="spotify:artist:1P9syEkl41IFowWIJN7ZBY">Pete Seeger</a> populist tradition, Vikesh Kapoor was raised in rural Pennsylvania but found his calling after an impromptu cross-country trip, after which he found himself singing at a memorial service in Boston for <a href="spotify:artist:6b0bpa3q6PaNkTQ0Afisc5">Howard Zinn</a>. Moved by <a href="spotify:artist:6b0bpa3q6PaNkTQ0Afisc5">Zinn</a>'s lifelong commitment to overcoming class and racial injustice, Kapoor, by this time living in Portland, Oregon, wrote and recorded a loose concept album, The Ballad of Willy Robbins, which centered on the struggles for a good life endured by the working class. The album, co-produced by Kapoor and <a href="spotify:artist:6fh0T5mLn3gjB5bsyjkqJG">Adam Selzer</a>, was released by <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Mama+Bird+Recording+Co.%22">Mama Bird Recording Co.</a> in the fall of 2013. ~ Steve Leggett, Rovi
