Woody Guthrie book recommendation

Posted on November 14th, 2007 by admin

This is one of the most well researched and enjoyable biographies on a music figure that I’ve read. If you like folk music, Americana, or just have an interest in modern history, Woody’s life as told by Ed Cray may captivate you. The author spends a good deal of time exploring Guthrie’s relationships, his songwriting, and his political motivations (or lack thereof). All against a backdrop of heart-wrenching tragedy.

Very recommended.
