Those are the words of a young Bob Dylan recalling the impact of first hearing Woody Guthrie; but the effect was not unique to Dylan – over the years Guthrie also inspired the likes of U2, Beck, Joan Baez, The Waterboys, Donovan, Tom Paxton, The Pogues, Phil Ochs, REM, Billy Bragg and many many more.

Whether they know it or not, every singer-songwriter of the past half-century owes a debt to Woody Guthrie; and any band with anything remotely “political” on its agenda tips their hat in his direction. Indeed, for writing ‘This Land Is Your Land’ alone, Woody Guthrie stands as one of the key musicians of the 20th century. This indispensable collection features his most celebrated songs, all recorded at various times during the 1940s – ‘Pretty Boy Floyd’, ‘Do Re Mi’ et al – alongside timeless interpretations of other classic material such as ‘When The Yanks Go marching In’ and Leadbelly’s ‘Take A Whiff On Me’.
