He frequently performed with the slogan This Machine Kills Fascists displayed on his guitar. His best-known song is "This Land Is Your Land". Many of his recorded songs are archived in the Library of Congress. Such songwriters as Bob Dylan, Phil Ochs, Bruce Springsteen, Pete Seeger, Joe Strummer and Tom Paxton have acknowledged their debt to Guthrie as an influence. Guthrie traveled with migrant workers from Oklahoma to California and learned traditional folk and blues songs. Many of his songs are about his experiences in the Dust Bowl era during the Great Depression, earning him the nickname the "Dust Bowl Troubadour." Throughout his life Guthrie was associated with United States communist groups, though he was never an actual member of any. Guthrie was married three times and fathered eight children, including American folk musician Arlo Guthrie. He is the grandfather of musician Sarah Lee Guthrie.

During his later years, in spite of his illness, Guthrie served as a figurehead in the folk movement, providing inspiration to a generation of new folk musicians, including mentor ...
Woody Guthrie-Little Darling (At My Window Sad and Lonely)
1946 www.amazon.com Watch the full film: thefilmarchived.blogspot.com Peter "Pete" Seeger (born May 3, 1919) is an American folk singer and an iconic figure in the mid-twentieth century American folk music revival: A fixture on nationwide radio in the 1940s, he also had a string of hit records during the early 1950s as a member of The Weavers, most notably the 1950 recording of Leadbelly's "Goodnight, Irene", which topped the charts for 13 weeks in 1950. Members of The Weavers were blacklisted during the McCarthy Era. In the 1960s, he re-emerged on the public scene as a prominent singer of protest music in support of international disarmament, civil rights, and for environmental causes. As a song writer, he is best known as the author or co-author of "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?", "If I Had a Hammer (The Hammer Song)" (composed with Lee Hays of The Weavers), and "Turn, Turn, Turn!", which have been recorded by many artists both in and outside the folk revival movement and are still sung throughout the world. "Flowers" was a hit recording for The Kingston Trio (1962), Marlene Dietrich, who recorded it in English, German and French (1962), and Johnny Rivers (1965). "If I Had a Hammer" was a hit for Peter, Paul & Mary (1962) and Trini Lopez (1963), while The Byrds popularized "Turn, Turn, Turn!" in the mid-1960s, as did Judy Collins in 1964. Seeger was one of the folksingers most responsible for popularizing the spiritual "We Shall Overcome" (also recorded by Joan Baez ...

Woody Guthrie's famous inclusive folk anthem, "This Land is Your Land." LYRICS This land is your land and this land is my land, From California to the New York Island, From the redwood forest to the gulf stream waters, This land was made for you and me. As I went a walkin' that ribbon of highway, An' I saw above me that endless skyway. I saw below me, that golden valley, This land was made for you and me. I roamed and rambled and I follered my footsteps, To the sparklin' sands of her diamond deserts, All around me, a voice was a sounding, This land was made for you and me. There was a big high wall there that tried to stop me, Sign was painted said, "Private Property" But on the back side it didn't say nothing, This land was made for you and me. When the sun comes shining, then I was strolling, And the wheat fields waving, and the dust clouds rolling, The voice was chanting as the fog was lifting, This land was made for you and me. This land is your land and this land is my land, From California to the New York Island, From redwood forest to the gulf stream waters, This land was made for you and me. (c) 1940 Woody Guthrie

Here is a picture slideshow of the great Woody Guthrie (the second to last picture is Woody w/ Leadbelly, and the last one is Woody w/ Pete Seeger.) This song is off the Woody Guthrie compilation CD, "The Great Dust Storm" He tells the narrative so beautifully and harrowing... Come all you old time cowboys, And listen to my song, Please do not grow weary, I'll not detain you long. Concerning some wild cowboys, Who did agree to go, Spend the summer pleasant, On the trail of the Buffalo. I found myself in Griffin, In the spring of '83, When a well known famous drover, Came walking up to me. Said, "How do you do, young fellow, Well how would you like to go, And spend the summer pleasant, On the trail of the Buffalo?" Well I being out of work right then, To the drover I did say, "Going out on the Buffalo Road, Depends on the pay. If you will pay good wages, And transportation to and fro, I think I might go with you, On the hunt of the Buffalo." "Of course I'll pay good wages, And transportation too, If you will agree to work for me, Until the season's through." But if you do get homesick, And try to run away, You will starve to death, Out on the trail and also lose your pay." Well with all his flattering talking, He signed up quite a train, Some 10 or 12 in number, Some able bodied men. The trip it was a pleasant one, As we hit the westward road, Until we crossed old Boggy Creek, In old New Mexico. There our pleasures ended, And our troubles began. A lightening storm hit us ...
