The Very Best Of
Before Guthrie broke-through as an artist, he travelled through the United States, working as a labourer to support himself and got involved in union politics wherever he went. 'If you can't hitch-hike, ride a freight train’ was his celebrated 'rule of thumb'. And by travelling so freely, he lived up to the title of his most famous song, ‘This Land Is Your Land’. His travels had seen him witness the worst of the Great Depression, and this politicised him to a great extent – not surprisingly, his music reflected this. By the time he was 30, Woody Guthrie had written hundreds of songs, many of which remain folk standards today. He moved from Los Angeles to New York in 1939 and was recorded by musicologist Alan Lomax for the US Library of Congress in March 1940. Many of his best-known songs – ‘Pretty Boy Floyd’ and ‘Talking Dust Bowl Blues’ are among those and were documented in the session. His music remains his greatest testimony, so sit back and see the world anew through the eyes of an American legend.
