Folk Alley Radio Show #240711

This week on Folk Alley we’re celebrating the Father of American Folk Music, Woody Guthrie, and the many projects his daughter Nora Guthrie spearheaded over the decades to share unrecorded Woody Guthrie lyrics with a wider audience. Hear from Billy Bragg & Wilco, Wenzel, The Klezmatics, Jonatha Brooks, Jackson Browne, and The Dropkick Murphys; plus, a belated happy birthday to Arlo Guthrie.

In hour two, it’s more classics by Woody Guthrie from favorite folk and roots artists including, Ramblin’ Jack Elliott, Bob Dylan, Ani DiFranco, Ry Cooder, Taj Mahal, and Jimmy LaFave; a couple from Woody’s grandchildren, Cole Quest & The City Pickers and Sarah Lee Guthrie; and much more.
