| Publisher Description: Don't miss this tribute to the writer and composer of the greatest love song ever written, "This Land is Your Land." Woody Guthrie's voice takes us back to the America that created a movement of such voices; you listen to Woody at the risk of being won over to the cause of working class Americans and the understanding that their cause is yours as well. --Norman Lear This book was written to accompany the Rounder Records release of the same title, which encompasses six compact discs and one DVD. It includes a complete transcription of all the words to all the songs and stories which Woody Guthrie recorded for the Library of Congress, the recordings he made for the Bonneville Power Administration, the radio dramas recorded for the Office of War Information during World War II and to help with public health efforts in the years after the war. There is also an essay on the SS Reuben James (including a recent interview with the last-known survivor). |
