Title Note

Made by Alan Lomax over a three day period in 1940, LIBRARY OF CONGRESS RECORDINGS includes many of Woody Guthrie's best-loved songs, coupled with his commentary and observations of America in the 30's.

Throughout the '30s and '40s, folklorist and historian Alan Lomax traveled the country seeking out traditional folk and blues performers. His field recordings brought the world dozens of treasured performers, some of whom never recorded again after his initial visit. One of his most important finds was the Oklahoma newspaper reporter, social activist, and folk balladeer Woody Guthrie.

Lomax's recordings of Guthrie, made over a three-day period in March 1940, are collected in full on the three-disc LIBRARY OF CONGRESS RECORDINGS box set. The sessions were loose, unscripted affairs in the Lomax tradition. Between songs, Guthrie extemporizes on a variety of topics and provides a loose autobiography. But it's the songs, including magnificent performances of originals and standards like the gangster ballad "Pretty Boy Floyd," the topical "Dust Bowl Blues," and the spirited singalong "So Long, It's Been Good to Know Ya," that make this collection indispensable.
