Woody Guthrie - Some Folk

Woody Guthrie is the original folk hero. It was Guthrie who, in the Thirties and Forties, transformed the folk ballad into a vehicle for social protest and observation. In so doing, he paved the way for Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen and a host of other folk and rock songwriters who have been moved by conscience to share experiences and voice opinions in a forthright manner. Guthrie wrote literally hundreds of songs, including such revered classics as So Long, It's Been Good To Know You, Grand Coulee Dam, I Ain't Got No Home and Dust Bowl Refugees. all included on this 99 track 4 CD set.
