I repeat my comment posted on the Guthrie "My Dusty Road" thread:

the Wire recordings issued a while ago
by the Guthrie Archive - those recordings open an incredible window
on Guthrie as a performer interacting with an audience and with his wife. Those truly are essential to expanding ones knowledge of "Woody".

This fabulous recording has now been issued by ROUNDER. Essential purchase for anyone interested in Woody Guthrie!

The only recordings of a full performance by Woody. By 1949 was he was starting to suffer the early effects of Huntingtons' Disease, and it shows on these recordngs. Compare them with the Library of Congress sessions with Alan Lomax. But they are a treat to listen to. Highly reccommended.

Red Lick have the disc in stock at the moment at £11-75. Normally £13-15 (I think), and definitely highly recommended.
