Few records hit this hard. Guthrie's theme is the Great Depression's devastation, as visited on the land and people of America's heartland. Guthrie raises the talking blues form to a new level of realism and poetry, and he charges some of his strongest story songs ("Tom Joad" and "Pretty Boy Floyd") with a vividness songwriters like Springsteen and Dylan have chased ever since. Need to decide on one Guthrie album? This is it. --Roy Francis Kasten

Put this in its proper perspective; don't propagandize........2002-06-11
"Talkin' Dust Bowl Blues" also spares us Woody Guthries unpleasant and out-of-tune singing voice. His speaking voice, on the other hand, is smooth and mild, the voice of a professional radio personality, which, by the way, Woody Guthrie WAS for a fair while.
Some reviewers seem to think Woody Guthrie composed music. No, he set his lyrics to existing music, mostly "Carter family" music,
which to my ears is deadly boring. His lyrics are sometimes satirically on the mark, sometimes rambling, sometimes purple, a mixed bag.
I'd be curious to know how many of those who display this in their collections actually ever take it out and listen to. I'd guess few.
My advice. Listen to this once (borrow it or something -- do NOT buy it) and read Joe Klein's outstanding Woody Guthrie biography.
Then move on to something else.
the best ever folk album by the best singer,he's real.......1999-01-12
