Bread and Roses was a 1976 album by Judy Collins that attempted to merge the singer's political convictions with the commercial success of the previous year's Judith. Political statements like the title song, originally a poem by James Oppenheim commonly associated with a 1912 garment workers strike in Lawrence, Massachusetts, were balanced with such pop compositions as Elton John's "Come Down in Time", but the album failed to achieve the commercial success of Judith.
Released as the single from the album was "Special Delivery" by Billy Mernit.
Singer Luther Vandross sang background on this album, one of his earliest commercially recorded vocal performances.
