3.0 out of 5 stars Cruddy Guthrie, February 1, 2007

This review is from: Early Masters (Audio CD)

Woody Guthrie appears here with Sonny Terry and Cisco Houston, and as a solo performer. These significant 1940's folk recordings are marred by unexpected handicaps.

A few tracks on WOODY GUTHRIE * EARLY MASTERS ("Hey Lolly Lolly," "John Henry," "Ranger's Command,") sound pretty dreadful (worn 78s), while the solo performances in particular are very clear. Biographical liner notes have a strangely compressed font that's nearly illegible. Oddly, the playlist that shows up on WMP is totally skewed.

This one's too flawed to really recommend. Three stars purely for historic value.
