My sister gave me Joe Klein's "Woody Guthrie: A Life" a few Christmases back which I enjoyed immensely.

A ot of my other 'faves' are Welsh language I guess, although I do tend to rattle on about "Singing Cowboys and Musical Mountaineers" and "Sound of the Dove", both of which I came across in the "Basic Folk Library" thread, link as kindly provided above.

(How does one find the old Permathreads these days?)
