Woody Guthrie

[Gunther]

July 14 in 1912 the great singer-songwriter Woody Guthrie was born. He gave us a lot of beautiful tunes.

That Bob Dylan welded his own 60s fame and meteoric talent to the thin hobo muse of the original Dust Bowl troubadour is a true gift to the generations ... From Bruce Springsteen and Tom Morello, to the Byrds, John Fogerty, Johnny Cash, Beck, Emmylou Harris, U2, Lou Reed, Steve Earle, Paul Simon, the Grateful Dead, Billy Bragg, Richie Havens, Ani DiFranco, John Mellencamp, Jeff Tweedy, Ry Cooder, Flatt and Scruggs, and The Band (among many others), covering Woody Guthrie has become a badge of authenticity

Hi,

   The NPR show Fresh Air had a discussion on Woody Guthrie
that was interesting.

"On Thursday's Fresh Air, Cray and Place, who co-
produced the new box set Woody at 100, join Terry
Gross for a conversation about the famous folk singer."

"Woody at 100: The Woody Guthrie Centennial Collection
is available from Smithsonian Folkways."
