Woody Guthrie Some Folk 4 CD set - 100 folk ballads Woody Guthrie is the original folk hero. He was known for his left-wing views and he was a sympathizer of trade unions whose guitar bore the legend "This Machine Kills Fascists." He explored traditional music in the United States and wrote songs of the struggles of common people; he documented the plight of the under-privileged, the poor and the dispossessed. It was Guthrie who, in the 1930s and 1940s, transformed the folk ballad into a vehicle for social protest and observation. Along the way, Woody Guthrie influenced several generations of performing artists from peers like Pete Seeger , Leadbelly and Cisco Houston , disciples (and sons) including Bob Dylan , Bruce Springsteen and Arlo Guthrie and even modern-day troubadours Billy Bragg and Wilco . Woody Guthrie - Some Folk 4 CD set is an exceptional anthology celebrating his genius and legend and features 100 folk standards including This Land Is Your Land , I Ain't Got No Home , Car Song , Hard Ain't It Hard , Pastures Of Plenty , Grand Coulee Dam , Gypsy Davy , Vigilante Man , Do-Re-Mi and more songs you should get to know, if you already don't. This handsome collection includes a 48-page illustrated booklet with essays, photos and complete discography. Woody Guthrie Some Folk 4 CD set is brand new; it is unopened, unplayed read more
