Theme: Songs of Woody Guthrie, Part 1 – Classic Songs


Woody Guthrie – whose active career as a folksinger, songwriter and author was relatively brief, from the late-1930s until the early-1950s – was the most important folk-rooted songwriter of the first half of the 20th century and an inspiration to contemporaries like Pete Seeger and to subsequent generations of folksingers and songwriters who have followed. When Bob Dylan first came to New York as a 20-year-old in 1961, it was in search of Woody Guthrie who had been hospitalized since 1956 for Huntington’s disease, the hereditary neurological disease that would eventually take his life in 1967 at age 55.
