Item Description

The best tribute to Woody Guthrie on the centenary of his birth - And many previously unreleased recordings

Woodrow Wilson "Woody" Guthrie wrote songs that became the soundtrack of an era and permanent fixtures of American identity. His more than 3,000 songs covering countless subjects and appealing to all ages marked the pulse of hard-hit people in times of economic depression and war. The 154-page book features art, essays, and 57 tracks on three CDs, including Woody's most important recordings, 21 previously unreleased performances, and six never-before-heard original songs. Woody at 100 commemorates the genius of one of the greatest songwriters, musicians, and artists of the 20th century.

Folk singer and activist Woody Guthrie would have been 100 years old on July 14, 2012 (he died in 1967 at Age 55). Best known for composing "This Land is Your Land" and the song we all learned as kids, "So Long It's Been Good To Know You", Guthrie was a prolific songwriter - writing thousands of songs (really), many just the words which folk and pop artists have been adding new music to.
