Our Take

Folk hero Woody Guthrie's latest release "I Saw a Sign - 1940-1947 Recordings" offers a peek into the mind of a true pioneer of American music. With his trusty guitar in hand and his signature drawl, Guthrie takes listeners on a journey through the trials and triumphs of his era. From the haunting ballad "The Great Dust Storm" to the rollicking anthem "This Land Is Your Land," Guthrie's timeless melodies and poignant lyrics still resonate today. The raw, unfiltered recordings capture Guthrie's passion and authenticity, transporting listeners to a bygone era where protest songs were the soundtrack of the people. Tracks like "Talking Sailor Blues" and "I Ain't Got No Home" showcase Guthrie's wit and humour, while songs like "Pastures of Plenty" and "I Saw a Sign" highlight his ability to inspire and uplift. Guthrie's music is a reminder of the power of storytelling and the importance of standing up for what you believe in. Overall, "I Saw a Sign - 1940-1947 Recordings" is a must-listen for fans of Americana and folk music. Guthrie's timeless songs and timeless spirit will continue to inspire generations to come. So grab your acoustic guitar, put on your best plaid shirt, and let Woody Guthrie take you on a musical journey like no other. In the words of the man himself, "This machine kills fascists."
