Thread Name: New Woody Guthrie album
Subject: RE: New Woody Guthrie album
When I first played the CD I was a bit disappointed, thinking... "That doesn't sound like Woody Guthrie". But, after listening to a few numbers I started liking the new approach.
Also the lyrics are more sophisticated than I expected and didn't sound dated at all. Either they were too much ahead of their time to make it when Woody was alive or his songwriting was maturing.
I think my favorite track is "Way down yonder in the Minor Key".
Altogether a great CD.
Bert.
