Synopsis

Album Description
In-depth life story of folk hero Woody Guthrie. Named after a president, Woody had deep-running political beliefs, which he frequently tackled in his music. He enjoyed successful musical collaborations with Pete Seeger and Cisco Houston. Yet his personal life fell into tatters with a failed marriage and a string of broken relationships. Woody was finally hospitalised after it was discovered that he was terminally ill. Over the past couple of years Woody's work has enjoyed a resurgence and finally received the acclaim it deserves. This 4-CD set also features 2 discs of Woody's music.
 

CD Reviews

Buy the Tribute Instead
Victor Edmonds | Benicia, CA USA | 01/05/2002
(1 out of 5 stars)

"Same package available on the Chrome Dreams label. One CD is a boring reading of an encyclopedia version of Woody's life. The other CD is 52 of Woody's cuts in bad sound. A better intro to his life is Tribute to Woody Guthrie on Warner Brothers, at a good price at Amazon. Professional actors and top folk singers mix readings and songs to make the story come alive."
