Book Synopsis Bound for Glory by : Woody Guthrie

Download or read book Bound for Glory written by Woody Guthrie. This book was released on 1983-09-15. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1943, this autobiography is also a superb portrait of America's Depression years, by the folk singer, activist, and man who saw it all. Woody Guthrie was born in Oklahoma and traveled this whole country over—not by jet or motorcycle, but by boxcar, thumb, and foot. During the journey of discovery that was his life, he composed and sang words and music that have become a national heritage. His songs, however, are but part of his legacy. Behind him Woody Guthrie left a remarkable autobiography that vividly brings to life both his vibrant personality and a vision of America we cannot afford to let die. “Even readers who never heard Woody or his songs will understand the current esteem in which he’s held after reading just a few pages… Always shockingly immediate and real, as if Woody were telling it out loud… A book to make novelists and sociologists jealous.” —The Nation

Book Synopsis Woody Guthrie, American Radical by : Will Kaufman

Download or read book Woody Guthrie, American Radical written by Will Kaufman. This book was released on 2011. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although Joe Klein's Woody Guthrie and Ed Cray's Ramblin' Man capture Woody Guthrie's freewheeling personality and his empathy for the poor and downtrodden, Kaufman is the first to portray in detail Guthrie's commitment to political radicalism, especially communism. Drawing on previously unseen letters, song lyrics, essays, and interviews with family and friends, Kaufman traces Guthrie's involvement in the workers' movement and his development of protest songs. He portrays Guthrie as a committed and flawed human immersed in political complexity and harrowing personal struggle. Since most of the stories in Kaufman's appreciative portrait will be familiar to readers interested in Guthrie, it is best for those who know little about the singer to read first his autobiography, Bound for Glory, or as a next read after American Radical.

Book Synopsis My Name Is New York by : Nora Guthrie

Download or read book My Name Is New York written by Nora Guthrie. This book was released on 2012. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Woody Guthrie is acknowledged and lauded the world over for inspiring the likes of Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen and Joe Strummer. Originally from Oklahoma, he was a real musician playing music for the everyman, but if it wasn't for New York City he might not have given us his masterpiece 'This Land Is Your Land' among others. For the first time the city that Woody called home is brought to life in historical photographs, documents and previously unpublished lyrics. Like a scrapbook, it gathers all that helped make him the legend we celebrate today and the city in which it happened.
