Lots of great songs, but what you don't want to miss is
the story of Reuben Clamso and His Strange Daughter, which
is a wonderful live performance piece. I also love
St. Louis Tickle and Strangest Dream (which is a lovely and inspiring peace ballad). I surely wish this one was in print.

I think Arlo is a great person. I also think he'd never boast about it or even realizes his greatness. His songs are insightful and some of them are down right silly. I myself have been listening to Arlo for 30 years. I have been to two live shows and one of them was with Pete Seeger. Right now at this moment I could put on any one of his albums and when it's over I will have felt many emotions. I will also feel like I have learned something new about humanity.

Of all of Arlo Guthrie's music, I enjoy the albums he made with Shenandoah the most. The songs hold my interest, and just don't get old.

I think I prefer listening to "Reuben Clamzo" over "Alice's Restaurant". I'm not sure if that's because it's a better story, or just because I've heard the latter so many times over the years, but if you haven't ever heard the story, the album is worth it for the story alone.

One of those great live concert albums where you really feel you are part of the audience as you listen to it. It is hilarious and also touching. My favorite cuts are of course The Story of Reuben Clamzo and his strange daughter in the key of A, Little Beggarmam and Last Night I had the Strangest Dream. Clams jumping on ships with their "little feet" chomping sailors....very funny.

Had the album and it got to scratchy. The ballad/story of Rueban Clamzo is great and never get tired of it.....the songs are typical Arlo and enjoyable....soft rock, folk and celtic....wish he was still telling stories.

He really likes Arlo Guthrie and I had gotten this as a gift for him. He loves the CD, which didn't surprise me, because he has all the other ones as well.

Let me be upfront about the fact I dislike Arlo's politics, and I heartily dislike that of Seeger's. That being said, I found the epic story of Rueben Clamzo and His Strange Daughter (in the key of A) to be a side busting riot. Just absolutely funny, from beginning to end...and the song at the end isn't a bad version of Reuben Ranzo, either.

I had all my ARlo together, yet even amogst themselves this little jewle was a rare treat, part cozy, sort of chilling at times and all the while it brought you there. Whether you we alone or not.
