WOODY GUTHRIE - THE ASCH RECORDINGS 1-4 (4 CDS, BOOK)

Everything Woody ever recorded for Mo Asch's Folkways label, now available as a 4-CD set. This is ABSOLUTELY one of the most indispensable bodies of work in American music; Bob Dylan, Phil Ochs and an entire generation of folkies worshipped at this man's feet because of this material. From This Land Is Your Land to Pretty Boy Floyd, history in every note.

This is the finest Woody Guthrie Collection ever assembled. These 105 songs, including many of his best-known compositions and some of his most unususal, were all recorded in the 1940's by Moses Asch, the founder of Folkways Records. Carefully selected, exquisitely remastered, and painstakingly annotated in over 100 pages of text in four illustrated booklets. Contains four CDs originally issued as separate volumes. Compiled and annotated by Jeff Place and Guy Logsdon. Four hours and 43 minutes.
