3cd woody guthrie this machine kills fascists charly
Woody Guthrie was the most important folk/protest singer of his generation, whose significance today can be measured by the pantheon of artists including Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Bono and Willie Nelson who acknowledge their debt to him.
 
The 3 discs features 66 songs including 'This Land is your Land', 'Pastures of Plenty', 'Pretty Boy Floyd' and 'Do Re Mi', which illuminate a whole era of American history by dealing with the telling issues of the day such as economic depression, homelessness and social and racial justice.
 
'This 3CD set makes a fine introduction to one of the last century's most important performers. Guthrie's songs are as powerful now as they were then and the debt owed by Dylan, Springsteen and Cash is crystal-clear.' * * * * Q (Q recommends)
