Song for Woody

Folk & Singer-Songwriter

Comment must not exceed 1000 characters

This is a song for and inspired by Woody Guthrie. It borrows liberally from his writings, be they his songs, journals or even a credo emblazoned on his guitar. From all I've learned about him, that would be quite alright with the Woodster, who loved borrowing from himself and others, making it his own. And he liked things simple and plain: 'All you can write is what you see.' I hope I've done right by him in this 'nothing fancy' take of 'Song for Woody.' Special thanks to Jeffrey Pepper Rodgers for compiling much of Woody's wisdom in an essay that inspired my song.
