==Overview== | ==Overview== | ||
The proceeds from sales of ''Spirit Of '73'' went to support Rock For Choice, a pro-choice organization. The theme of the album is female-fronted acts performing covers of female-fronted acts of yesteryear. To further drive home the theme, most of the songs covered here are from the late 60s/early 70s, a time in US history when abortion was a hot-button issue, culminating in the controversial Roe V. Wade case of 1973. | |||
The album is interspersed with unnamed tracks featuring 70s-style radio or tv ads and spoken word pieces. [[that dog.]] makes an appearance with a reading of Maria Muldaur's 1973 chart-topper "[[Midnight At The Oasis]]". | The album is interspersed with unnamed tracks featuring 70s-style radio or tv ads and spoken word pieces.
