The Past Didn't Go Anywhere is an album by American folk singer Utah Phillips and American singer-songwriter Ani DiFranco, released October 15, 1996, on DiFranco's label, Righteous Babe Records.
On the album, Phillips is recorded telling stories at concerts with DiFranco setting the musical background. DiFranco provides background vocals on the first and last tracks as part of her remixing, but no songs as such.
The record was followed by Fellow Workers, a second collaboration between the two musicians, which focused on songs associated with the Industrial Workers of the World and contained singing as well as spoken-word pieces.
