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.
TOTAL RUNNING TIME -- 34:37
