Folkways has over 400 recordings of Woody Guthrie—all there on SGS for the listening.

Many Woody Guthrie (for example, the Dust Bowl Ballads) are not in SGS; they were recorded for labels other than Folkways. They ARE available on iTunes, of course. Same for Roll on Columbia and other songs from that collection, also on iTunes.

The Dust Bowl Ballads include:
Talkin’ Dust Bowl Blues
Tom Joad
Dust Bowl Refugee
Dusty Old Dust (So Long It’s Been Good To Know Yuh)
Do Re Mi
and several others. They are considered one of his best collections.



Roll On Columbia, of course, is on our primary cd. Also listen to Grand Coulee Dam—from the same time, but very different in tone.

Also listen, for comparison, to the Bob Dylan version of This Land Is Your Land (soundtrack, No Direction Home)
Song for Woody / Bob Dylan
Last Thoughts On Woody Guthrie / Bob Dylan
Plus his recordings of
No More Auction Block for Me
He Was A Friend of Mine
