Theme: Songs of Woody Guthrie, Part 2 – “New” Songs from the Archives.

In the 1990s, Nora Guthrie, Woody Guthrie’s daughter who was then maintaining the Woody Guthrie Archives, discovered the lyrics to literally thousands of songs that Woody Guthrie wrote that he never set to music or whose tunes were never recorded and lost. Nora began to distribute sets of lyrics to contemporary musicians she thought would bring these songs to life. On this show, we’re listening to some of those songs.

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.
