Product Description
From Amazon.co.uk
Poland-born, Brooklyn-reared producer and folk enthusiast Moses Asch maintained a suitably slack but ultimately productive relationship with Woody Guthrie. The notoriously unbound folksinger was free to stop by the New York studio unannounced and Asch would record whatever was running through the folksinger's fertile mind at the time. From the vast body of work the twosome came up with comes this cornerstone four-disc collection. All four CDs included in The Asch Recordings have been released individually--This Land is Your Land (something of a best-of set), Muleskinner Blues (a collection of the singer's old favourites), Hard Travelin' (a topical compilation), and Buffalo Skinners (Western-themed songs). If you have one or more of the aforementioned titles, finish off the set one by one. If you're interested in American folk music and you don't have the Guthrie/Asch collection, do yourself a favour and get it out of the box. --Steven Stolder

WHAT FOLK HOUNDS HAVE BEEN PRAYING FOR,
By
This review is from: The Asch Recordings (Audio CD)
This collection is definitely a must have for persons who love Woody Guthrie's music. Folk hounds in general will appreciate this collection. These CDs cover a wide range of Guthrie's music. Many of his signature songs are included with some of his lesser known tunes.Guthrie, famous for the "three chord theory," plays human experience and emotions like a virtuoso. He ranges in all feelings from the lighthearted, almost silly "Car Song" to the sad, serious "Deportee" and "Reuben James." The sound quality on these CDs is of extremely high caliber like the music. Woody Guthrie has raised the bar; he set new standards in folk music. If you're a folk hound like me, you will LOVE this collection.

Great Collection of Guthrie,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Asch Recordings (Audio CD)
No complaints other than the sound quality--which isn't very good. It's O.K. on some songs, but all in all, it's pretty poor. Everything else is great and at about fifty cents a song it's a really good deal. The liner notes are really great as well and there's a pamphlet for each CD. I've just recently started to listen to Woody Guthrie but have been a Dylan fan for a long time. It's really neat to see all of the similarities in some of Dylan's early work with Guthrie's. Dylan's CD "Good as I Been to You" actually has a few songs that are on this CD. That's a great album as well--1991 I believe. All in all a great deal and great music.
