Bigger Than Yourself is a collection of fifteen McCutcheon/Kahn originals that deal with pooling ideas and energy, sharing leadership, sticking up for yourself and one another, and sticking together. Kids organize their school to convince a principal of their ideas, figure out how to afford things one can't buy alone, get along with people from different cultures. There's even a song about a babysitter as a replacement worker. It's a ton of fun and, as usual, boasts a world full of musical styles and ideas.
Bigger Than Yourself was released on Labor Day in 1997, and was immediately adopted by the Pittsburgh Public Schools as a teaching tool. The local Labor Council, in honor of that yearsâ AFL/CIO Convention, made a gift of hundreds of copies of the album to the schools.
The George Meany Center for Labor Education has developed a great study guide for Bigger Than Yourself. ItâÂÂs geared toward classroom use and takes the album one song, one concept at a time. ItâÂÂs a great accompaniment to those of you who want to expand upon the ideas presented in this Grammy-nominated collection of songs about fair play, cooperation, collection action, and fun.
