Recorded in New York, New York on April 26 & May 3, 1940. Includes liner notes by Dave Marsh & Woody Guthrie.
American folk music has produced few artists as gifted and complex as Woody Guthrie. Guthrie's talents as a singer, harmonica player, and guitar player were merely ordinary, but as a songwriter, storyteller, and provocateur Guthrie had few equals. Guthrie's genius lay in his gift for seamlessly integrating his leftist political principles into his tales of common folks. Nowhere is this gift more evident than on DUST BOWL BALLADS. The fourteen-song set, originally released in 1940 on two albums of 78s, contains some of Woody Guthrie's most immediate and vibrant compositions, not surprising given that Guthrie had lived through the horrific Oklahoma dust storms of the early '30s.
DUST BOWL BALLADS benefits from its thematic cohesion, which allows it to play as a travelogue through the hard lives of Okie refugees. A number of tunes here will be instantly familiar: "I Ain't Got No Home," "Vigilante Man," "Pretty Boy Floyd," "Do Re Mi," and "So Long, It's Been Good to Know Yuh" are all campfire standards. The less well-known tunes here, however, are no less great. Particularly memorable are "Tom Joad" (a seven-minute Cliff Notes version of "The Grapes of Wrath"), and "Talking Dust Bowl Blues." A classic album.
Digitally remastered by Doug Pomeroy (Pomeroy Audio).
Solo performer: Woody Guthrie (vocals, guitar, harmonica).
Reissue producers: Rob Santos, Nora Guthrie, Glenn Korman.CMJ (8/21/00, p.31) - "...Remarkable as both an album and a historic document....these remastered, tragic tales are something humorous yet always gripping."
Mojo (Publisher) (3/01/04, p.51) - Included in Mojo's The 67 Lost Albums You Must Own! - "[H]ard, droll folksongs, they mourn the Oklahoma wheatfields becoming 'a rippling ocean of dust the wind had blown...'" Woody Guthrie Story Music Woody Guthrie Story Music Woody Guthrie Story Review

Woody Guthrie Story album
 $15.95  
More times than not, Columbia/Legacy's Essential collections are stellar overviews. Boasting a two-and-a-half-hour running time and 38 songs hand-picked by Al himself, THE ESSENTIAL "WEIRD AL" YANKVIC is yet another well-executed title in the series. Encompassing 12 albums, the double-disc set starts from the beginning of Al's career, with "Another One Rides the Bus," his live "Another One Bites the Dust" parody from the Dr. Demento show in 1980, and it gradually chronicles up to the R. Kelly-influenced "Trapped in the Drive-Thru" from 2006's STRAIGHT OUTA LYNWOOD. Most of Al's big parodies are highlighted here ("Eat It," "I Lost on Jeopardy," "Yoda," "Like a Surgeon," "Fat") -- as well as some choice deep cuts, like the ripping accordion medley "Polkas on 45," the opening theme from UHF, and a smattering of absurd originals ("Albuquerque," "Dare to Be Stupid," "You Don't Love Me Anymore," and "The Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota"). All of these could be deemed essential for fans, but nitpickers will ...
| | Artie Lange Jack And Coke CD (2009)
Woody Guthrie Story CD music
$9.54  
For those keeping score at home: Artie Lange recorded Jack and Coke, his first comedy album, at Gotham's in New York City in the summer of 2009.which is between his relapse at the beginning of the year and before his debilitating bout with depression in the fall, one that led him to cancel his year-end concerts on the West Coast (thereby provoking the wrath of Eric the Midget, but that's a subject for another forum, preferably one run by Mutt). In other words, when Artie recorded Jack and Coke he was clean, sober, and engaged, injecting some energy into his standard set. And the material here is indeed fairly familiar to anybody who has read Too Fat to Fish or listened regularly to the Howard Stern Show -- making sure a hooker keeps clapping whenever she's out of eyesight, meeting up with Norm MacDonald to watch Bob Uecker do play by play, Chris Rock's dead-on deconstruction of the Stern show, Artie's spot-on Mike Tyson, many throwaway jokes about Benjy Bronk. Those Benjy jokes will fly over the head of anybody who isn't a Stern superfan -- and even those listeners may be hard-pressed to recognize a tweaked Rev. Bob Levy on the album cover, his face appearing ...

Woody Guthrie Story music CDs
$25.59
Despite the long-term damage this film and the soundtrack's title theme did to bluegrass, the soundtrack stands as one of the best introductions to instrumental bluegrass available. The blistering virtuosity of multi-instrumentalists Eric Weissberg and Marshall Brickman ripple through such traditional numbers as "Shuckin' the Corn," "Little Maggie," and "Mountain Dew" with such fervor and passion, it's hard to believe that all this music is coming from two city slickers. Originally recorded in 1963 under the title New Dimensions in Banjo and Bluegrass, these tracks were subsequently ...
