Product Description

From Amazon.com

What's most astonishing about Woody Guthrie is the way he created a whole, complete, living world of song. People, places, great and small events, nature, poetry, visions: He was so much more than a working class spokesperson, though, as this collection shows, he was the greatest one America has known. This first volume in the historic reissues of Guthrie's Smithsonian recordings is one of the finest: Guthrie's voice and verbal brilliance were at their peak in the 1940s and songs like "Do-Re-Mi," "Jesse James," and "Jesus Christ" continue to influence songwriters a half-century later. --Roy Francis Kasten

Chronique amazon.fr

Sur ce premier volume d'une série de quatre disques absolument indispensables, on retrouve tous les plus grands morceaux du poète social le plus important de l'Amérique du siècle dernier. Ainsi, de "This Land Is Your Land", son hymne magnifique, à "Grand Coulee Dam" en passant par "Pastures Of Plenty", figurent ici certains de ses plus beaux morceaux, parmi les centaines qu'il a enregistrés au cours de sa fabuleuse carrière. Remarquable travail d'éxégèse, ce disque comprend, outre ces 27 titres historiques, 40 pages de notes admirables sur Woody, vagabond céleste des voies de traverse de l'Amérique. Splendide !--Florent Mazzoleni

This Land is Your Land: The Asch Recordings, Vol. 1 Jun 29 2004
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
I had heard of Woody Guthrie, and Arlo, and knew they were related somehow, but it wasn't until I had a child of my own and purchased Woody's songs for children, that my curiousity was aroused. After listening to his other work, and reading the marvelous biography "Ramblin' Man" by Ed Cray, I now realize Woody Guthrie's music is nothing less than a national treasure. This c.d. will transport you back to a time when America was a simpler place, but no less troubled than today's world. His social conscience was inspiring and humbling at the same time. His voice is often soothing with a touch of melancholy. I think he is still greatly under-appreciated... kids should learn about Woody Guthrie in school; he wasn't Roosevelt, but his simple songs described the common man's plight during the Depression like no one else. You won't find any Hollywood escapism in his music; this is the real thing. Bob Dylan doesn't even come close.

Great for traveling May 17 2003
By apoem
Format:Audio CD
I bought this CD because I was very tired of the same old kids music as we traveled. This is a nice collection of songs. Some of them are upbeat, some of them are nice even tempo and some of them are slow. There is a nice combination of songs. My children (ages 2 and 4) have really enjoyed the music. I will admit it's not their favorite CD, but they enjoy it and will sing along with some of the songs. Woody is truly a classic in music and well worth introducing children to and well worth revisiting as an adult.

Enjoy.

Maybe the best single CD of Woody that exists...
