personally, i havent heard much of Guthrie's material,
but i love covers of his songs by Billy Bragg/Wilco, Springsteen,Dylan,Neil Young etc....

a great poet IMO, up there with the likes of Dylan and NY who he influenced so much

Woody experienced the dire poverty of the Depression first hand and also fought for the migrant workers. Since he was a protest singer he faced a lot of ridicule at the time and physical abuse. The Americana music legend !!!!!
