While "Work in Progress" certainly falls under
the broad heading of "folk," styles represented include old-time, jug band, swing, country blues, and traditional and contemporary folk. Six of the album's 15 cuts were penned by Deborah, with others by Woody Guthrie, Malvina Reynolds, A.P. Carter and others.
Free Times reviewer Peggy Latkovich writes, "Fans of Malvina Reynolds, Peggy Seeger and Hazel Dickens will find much to enjoy here."
