Sweetheart of the Rodeo

Sweetheart of the Rodeo (1968) more music like this

by The Byrds

The Byrds' Sweetheart of the Rodeo was not the first important country-rock album (Gram Parsons managed that feat with the International Submarine Band's debut Safe at Home), and the Byrds were hardly strangers to country music, dipping their toes in the twangy stuff as early as their second album. But no major band had gone so deep into the sound ...

Precious Friend

Precious Friend (1982) more music like this

by Arlo Guthrie/Pete Seeger

Recorded in late summer of 1981, Precious Friend, the second of Arlo Guthrie and Pete Seeger's live collaborations, is pretty much what you would expect. Seeger is his usual folksy self, leading the crowd through a series of folk tunes ranging from the traditional African chant "Wimoweh (Mbube)" to Harry Chapin's "Circles," while Guthrie mixes his ...

Folkways: A Vision Shared - A Tribute to Woody Guthrie & Leadbelly

Folkways: A Vision Shared - A Tribute to Woody Guthrie & Leadbelly (1988) more music like this

by Various Artists

This is a solid collection of alternately exuberant and faithful covers of the songs of Woody Guthrie and Leadbelly. Great cuts are Little Richard's fuel-injected "Rock Island Line," and Springsteen's "Vigilante Man." Bob Dylan does "Pretty Boy Floyd." Richard Meyer, All Music Guide

Struggle (1976) more music like this

by Woody Guthrie

This album was originally released by Moses Asch, founder of the Folkways label, on Asch Records in 1941 as Struggle: Documentary No. 1. It was released by him in 1976 to commemorate the bicentennial of the American Revolution with a special series of liner notes by Asch explaining the importance of Woody Guthrie's history of the working class ...

Live at the Fillmore West February 1969

Live at the Fillmore West February 1969 (2000) more music like this

by The Byrds

Recorded by Columbia engineers in February 1969, this is an early show by the first Byrds lineup to feature only one original member: founding member Roger McGuinn and Clarence White on guitars, John York on bass, and Gene Parsons on drums. Despite the recent departures of Chris Hillman and Gram Parsons for the Flying Burrito Brothers, the sound ...

A Proper Introduction to Woody Guthrie: This Land Is Your Land

A Proper Introduction to Woody Guthrie: This Land Is Your Land (2004) more music like this

by Woody Guthrie

There are countless Woody Guthrie compilations on the market, most of which draw on either his early-'40s recordings for Alan Lomax or the Moe Asch recordings from later in the decade. In Guthrie's case, it hardly makes a difference, since his approach and sound are the same in both instances, a mix of traditional folk songs with poignant ...

Best of the Vanguard Years

Best of the Vanguard Years (2000) more music like this

by Cisco Houston

Of the singers who brought folk into the modern era around World War II, Cisco Houston seems to have less name recognition than either Woody Guthrie or Leadbelly. Not a songwriter himself, Houston did a great deal to promote the songs and legacy of Guthrie during the mid- to late-'50s, and a number of songs on this recording come from Cisco ...

Hard Travelin'

Hard Travelin' (1989) more music like this

by Ramblin' Jack Elliott

Ramblin' Jack Elliott's early-'60s Prestige LPs Sings the Songs of Woody Guthrie and Ramblin' Jack Elliott are combined onto a single 77-minute disc on this CD reissue, with one song ("I Love Her So/I Got a Woman") deleted for space reasons. It's not as good as hearing Woody Guthrie himself, and may strike contemporary listeners as a bit tame and ...

Sweetheart of the Rodeo [Legacy Edition]

Sweetheart of the Rodeo [Legacy Edition] (2003) more music like this

by The Byrds

A lot of extras from the sessions for Sweetheart of the Rodeo surfaced before the 2003 release of this two-CD set, on both the 1990 Byrds box set and the 1997 single-CD expanded edition of the album. This deluxe edition, however, stretches out the body of material yet further, including everything from the official LP itself, the six outtakes and ...

Made of Mud (2005) more music like this

by Dana Cooper

Dana Cooper has been knocking around the margins of popular music for a long time now; his major-label debut was released in 1973, and the lead-off track of this album, "Step into the Light," was co-written with his old partner Shake Russell three decades ago. But, perhaps because of his juvenile-sounding tenor and artless phrasing (somewhere ...

Cisco Houston Sings the Songs of Woody Guthrie (1963) more music like this

by Cisco Houston

Cisco Houston is sometimes more remembered for his association with Woody Guthrie than for his gift as a folksinger. His smooth, deep baritone was interpreted by many folk purists as "commercial," thus inauthentic, and unlike Guthrie, he preferred interpreting other writer's songs as opposed to writing his own. Released two years after Houston's ...

Best of the War Years (2003) more music like this

by Woody Guthrie

This collection of Woody Guthrie's recordings from 1944-1947 finds the poet and traveler laying down some of his best-known songs with frequent collaborators Cisco Houston and Sonny Terry, as well as a few appearances from "Guitar Slim" Alec Seward. Despite the rather aggressive title, Best of the War Years refers more to the time span, offering ...

Worried Man Blues: Golden Classics, Pt. 1 (1990) more music like this

by Woody Guthrie

A budget collection that is really only a brief look at the music of Woody Guthrie, and comparable collections can probably be found at similar prices with better material. Still, it's hard to argue with the inclusion of the standards "Worried Man Blues," "John Henry" and the classic "Pretty Boy Floyd." The quality of the recordings isn't the ...

The Folk Collection (2003) more music like this

by Woody Guthrie

A two-disc set, Woody Guthrie's The Folk Collection contains a lot of the songs that are associated with the revered singer, like "Buffalo Skinners," "Pretty Boy Floyd," "House of the Rising Sun," and "John Henry" (which actually appears twice, once as a solo and once as a duet with Cisco Houston). There are many omissions as well (most noticeably ...

Woody Guthrie and Songs of My Oklahoma Home (2000) more music like this

by James Talley

Oklahoma-born James Talley gives stirring accounts of most of the 21 Woody Guthrie songs on this 70-minute CD. Richard Hardy's mandolin adds considerable color to the timbre of these well-arranged recordings, which are dominated by Talley's suitably emotive and pleasing voice. Talley evidently identifies deeply with much of this repertory and ...

Library of Congress Recordings, Vol. 2 (1988) more music like this

by Woody Guthrie

In March 1940, 27-year-old folksinger Woody Guthrie, newly arrived in New York City, played at a benefit for migrant workers, where he encountered Alan Lomax, the assistant in charge of the Archive of Folk-Song at the Library of Congress. Lomax invited Guthrie to Washington, D.C., to be interviewed and perform songs for the archive. These were not ...
