Woody Guthrie's MY DUSTY ROAD

I am not in the habit of making commercial announcements, but this release is an historic milestone,

My Dusty Road

From Bill Nowlin (Rounder)

Check out Woody Guthrie's MY DUSTY ROAD - Rounder's 4-CD set that is thankfully getting massive press, including a very rare 5-star review in Rolling Stone. It was my pleasure to have written some of the notes telling the story about how t...he masters for this album were found in the basement of a Brooklyn brownstone, where they have been for about 60 years. The sound quality is stunning. [end of advertisement! :)]
Woody Guthrie Woody Guthrie:
My Dusty Road, Released 08/25/2009


Released in coordination with the Woody Guthrie Archives, this 4 disc boxed set is the definitive edition of Woody Guthrie¹s mid-1940s recordings. The sound quality is superb, taken from newly discovered original metal masters. The set includes many of Woody's best-known songs, along with traditional material and collaborations with fellow guitarist Cisco Houston and harmonica player Sonny Terry. To complement and enhance enjoyment of the recordings, the discs are packaged in a replica of a vintage suitcase, complete with handle and latches. Inside the box are a full-color 68 page book that includes extensive notes and many rare or previously unpublished photos, as well as illustrations and illuminated lyric sheets by Guthrie himself. Also included are facsimiles of Woody's business card, a postcard sent from Florida to his wife, and a booking card from the 1940s.
