Editorial Reviews

From the Label
Woody Guthrie, part balladeer, part sociologist, part political activist, gathered raw material directly from his rich life. He sang his tales to entertain, to enlighten, to change injustices he saw all around. This historical album features Cisco Houston's vocals and Sonny Terry's harmonica (and occasional hollers). The program contains a few original compositions and some of the folk songs Woody found and sang in his early years.

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

By	Annie Van Auken (Planet Earth) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

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.
